Write Notes in Microsoft Excel and Word Write Notes in Microsoft Excel and WordPick up a pen from the pen tray or press a Colored Ink button on your Sympodium product and write over your application. The digital ink appears in the color of the pen.
Depending on your version of Word and Excel, the Aware Tools toolbar either floats above the application or appears with the application's other toolbars.
Both toolbars give you three options:
to insert your note in the file as a graphic,
press 
. Your note behaves like any other graphic that you've
inserted into your file.
to convert your note to typed text and insert
it at the cursor position, press 
. The typed text appears
in the same color as the digital ink you used. However, SMART Board software
converts handwriting in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese,
Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Spanish.
to take a screen capture of the note and the underlying
application, press
. The capture appears in Notebook software.
TIP: After you write into the active application, remember to save your file. Inserting your note as either typed text or a graphic doesn't save the file.
To clear your notes, return the pen to its pen tray slot or press a Left-Click button, and then press the interactive screen. Press the thumbnail image in the lower-right corner if you want to restore your notes. If you find this image distracting, you can turn it off.
