We describe five easy ways to view a flipchart:
Two ways to view one page at a time:
Click on the Next Page
and Previous Page
buttons.
From the View Menu, select Next Page or Previous Page.
|
You automatically insert a new flipchart page when you click on the
Next Page To prevent unwanted pages at the end of your flipcharts, always add an indicator to the last page. This could be a shape, a picture, or a simple "The End". |
From the Main Toolbox, open the Page Browser Preview the thumbnails of the flipchart and click on the black triangles on the film reel to see other thumbnails. To display a page in the ActivInspire window, click on its thumbnail. |
By default, ActivInspire is set to scale the complete flipchart page into the ActivInspire window. This is termed 'Best Fit'. You can easily change this with the drop-down menu at the top right-hand corner of the window. Click on the small white triangles Welcome to the World!If you select a setting that is smaller than 100%, the size of the flipchart page will be proportionally reduced in the ActivInspire window. This opens up an area around the flipchart page called the World. You can use the World like a blotter, to position objects temporarily outside the boundary of the flipchart page, for later use. These objects can then remain hidden when the page is scaled to fit the ActivInspire window. For example, things you don't want to make visible to your students, or items you want to reveal at a certain point in a lesson. |
You can use Page Zoom
to magnify or shrink what you see on the flipchart. Page Zoom does not
change your flipchart, it only affects how the flipchart is viewed.
From the View Menu,
select Page Zoom .
Click on the page and wait for a moment. The zoom begins and continues until you release the ActivPen or mouse button.
Page Zoom is now in the Quick Access Toolbar.
With Page Zoom selected:
Right-click on the page.
Hold the right-click button down.
|
If you double-click on the page while Page Zoom is selected, the Page Scale returns to Best Fit. |
When you have zoomed in on a flipchart to the point where the flipchart page is larger than the ActivInspire window, you can no longer see the whole flipchart page at once.
In this situation you can pan around the page in one of two ways:
|
|
Note that this behavior also applies when you have zoomed out of the page. |
