Using the Clock

Use the clock to show the time on the board. You can also do a countdown and have automated flipcharting actions.

From the Tools Menu, select More Tools > Clock.

The clock is displayed in a box.

  • Click the icons in the box to toggle between clock displays – analog, digital and both.

  • Click + or - symbol to show or hide the Clock toolbar.

  • Click and drag the sides or the corners of the box to change the size of the box and the clock.

  • Click the button with the pause symbol to pause the clock.

  • Click the down arrow to count down from a time.

  • Click the up arrow to count up from a time.

  • Click x to close the clock.

Clicking either arrow opens the 'Clock Counter' Dialog Box.

 

Set the time in the format 00:00:00 (hr:min:s).

Check the Repeat box to repeat the counting action until the clock is closed.

Drop-down menus let you:

  • Choose a sound to play after the timeout.

  • Choose a page turn or page reset action after the timeout.

If you choose Turn to Next Page and you have checked the Repeat box, blank pages will be added to the flipchart until the clock is closed.

Click Reset to return to the default settings for the Clock Counter.
