Tables and Cell Shades
With the SMART Notebook, it is possible to add tables to a page. After the table has been created, it is possible to insert objects into the cells of the table, including freehand objects, geometric shapes, straight lines and arcs, text and graphic files. The table can be customized by selecting the table, a column, row, or cell. Once the area of the table has been selected, the line color, fill color, or size of the area can be modified.
To add a table, complete the following steps:
- Press the Table button or select Insert > Table. An eight by eight grid appears.
- Select the number of columns and rows that you would like to include in the table by dragging over the cells in the grid.
- The table appears on the SMART Notebook page.
Cell shades are similar to a Screen Shade, but they cover and reveal the contents of individual cells within a table. Cell shades enable you to reveal the table content at a pace appropriate to the lesson. You can add a cell shade to an individual cell, a group of cells such as a row or column, or an entire table. To add a shade to a cell, multiple cells or an entire table, select the cell(s). Right-click and select Add cell shade.To remove a shade from a cell, multiple cells or an entire table, select the cell(s), right-click and select Remove cell shade. To reveal the contents of a cell covered by a cell shade, press once on the cell shade.
