Collecting and Sharing Content with Notebook Software
Screen captures, images and files from other applications, such as Macromedia® Flash®, can be brought into Notebook™
software to help create engaging lesson activities and presentations. Save your completed file in Notebook file format to
share with others in your workplace. You can also share your valuable content by exporting your Notebook file to HTML,
PDF, PowerPoint (PPT) or as a series of images (e.g., JPEG, GIF, etc.) in case your colleagues don’t have Notebook
software installed.
