Tips&Tricks

__**SMART Tips & Tricks**__

1. For those that have been working on animations and such, this website has a video embedded that goes through 5 of the Object Animations that you can do in the Notebook software. From BoxofTricks.net website: I found this at a Ning group I check in on every once and awhile at: @http://smartboardrevolution.ning.com/

2. For others, maybe just knowing that when you're done with a Notebook file and you'd like to post it on your webpage for parents and students to view, you can **export as PDF.** Then, parents don't need the Notebook software to open it up! When you're ready to save, just go to: **File - Export as - PDF.** You'll notice you could also export as PowerPoint if you so choose. Likewise, you can Import Powerpoint files - you just may lose a little bit of the animations if you do.

3. Lastly, how about if you'd like to bring a Word document that you have (or PowerPoint) into the SMART Notebook. If it's too much to copy and paste, you can go into your document and go to: **File - Print -** then choose **SMART Notebook Document Writer.** It may come out a little more blurry, but should come into the Notebook software.
