Open File Tabs

Beside the My Home and My Binder tabs is a tab for each open file. The tab's name matches the file it represents. You can select one of these tabs at any time to display the open file.

Each file consists of a series of pages, each with its own objects, properties and settings. You can add freehand objects, geometric shapes, straight lines, text, graphics, Adobe Flash content and tables to a page.

When you display an open file, the interface includes the following features.

• The toolbar enables you to select and use a variety of commands and tools.

• The whiteboard area displays the current page and enables you to create, edit and manipulate objects on the page.

• The side panel include the following tabs:

• • The Page Sorter displays thumbnails of the pages in the current file. It allows you to organize pages and move objects from page to page. You can view any page by clicking its thumbnail in the Page Sorter.

  • The Gallery contains clip art, backgrounds and .notebook files and pages that you can add to your file. Thumbnails within the Gallery provide previews of gallery content images. The Gallery also provides access to online resources.

  • The Attachments tab enables you to attach a copy of a file, a shortcut to a file or a Web page link to your file.

  • The Properties tab enables you to change the options for the currently selected object. For example, if you select a shape, the Properties tab displays options for changing fill effects, line style, object flags and object animation.

  • The Quick Links tab provides links to files with upcoming due dates.

If you close all of the open files, SMART Notebook SE automatically creates a new file.
