SMART Boards should not be used with regular white board pens at all. If one is inadvertently used, use the white board cleaner Expo to remove the marks.
Spray the cleaner on a clean soft cloth (never spray the board directly) and use the Expo eraser to clean.
If your board should become dirty, please use the Expo white board cleaner or Windex to clean your board.
Spray the cleaner on a clean, soft cloth (never spray the board directly) and use to gently clean the board.
Repeated use of Expo will leave a film on the board that will interfere with its functionality.

Sending text from other applications directly into a Notebook file
Two Ways
#1 - Send text from another application directly into a Notebook file. In the other application, select File >Print, and then select SMART Notebook Print Capture as your printer. After you print the document, each page of text appears as an object on its own Notebook page, with the original formatting preserved. You can enlarge, move and rotate text, but text cannot be edited.
#2 - Copy and paste text into notebook from a word processer. Your text can be edited. It will appear in a text box. You can change the font, text, color and size.
