2. Choose from the options in the Notebook Dashboard

Usually you open a New Notebook File

If you want to work on a non-notebook existing file, e.g. your own power point, you can open it with Ink Aware, which you will find in tools

INK WAREInk Aware allows you to use Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint with the SMART Board It is like a transparency layer that embeds whatever you write or draw on top of your file into

it. It may be a good idea to work on a copy of your file, so that you always have an unedited (or un-annotated) original.
