When you write or draw in SMART Notebook software or over an open application, the ink becomes an object that you can move and manipulate.

To write or draw in digital ink

1. Open the SMART Ink dynamic toolbar in full mode (see Opening the dynamic toolbar).

   OR

   Open the SMART Touch Inking Tool dynamic toolbar in full mode (see About the SMART Touch Inking Tool).

2. Press Pens.

3. Select a pen, and then set properties.

   Notes 

   • The properties available depend on the pen you select:

     Property	Standard pens			SMART Notebook pens
     Color					1Presets, rather than color options, are available for the creative pen type.
     Line
     Line style
     Line start
     Line end
     Thickness
     Transparency

   • SMART Notebook pens behave like standard pens outside of SMART Notebook software.

   • If you are writing or drawing digital ink in a Microsoft Office application and Microsoft’s ink tools are enabled, press Open Office Ink Tools, and then select a pen and set properties using the Ink Tools ribbon (see Changing Microsoft Office settings). For more information, see Using SMART Ink with Microsoft Office.

4. Write or draw in digital ink.

   Note 

   When you write or draw in digital ink on the desktop, the digital ink appears inside a SMART Ink Note. You can move and close the SMART Ink Note as you would any other window.
