The MAGIC PEN is GREAT!!!

Let's start with that...

Did you know that it can do the following?

DUAL PAGE DISPLAY- is also know as split screen

Click on the screen and click on Dual Page Display.

When you do it will display to pages at once.

This is what my screen looks like with 2 pages side by side.

Here are two other views.

Insert a hyperlink:

If you want the web link to show then paste it on the screen, highlight it, click on the triangle down, then click on the word link, in the address section paste the website. Then click on insert click. When you do you will have the screen pop back up and on the screen you will see a little planet earth show up under your website. That is what you will click on to go to the website.

Another way

Words- if you want to have words on the page do the same thing. Type the words. Go to the website. Copy the link. Then go back to NoteBook, click on the triangle pointing down, click on link, paste the link, then click on insert link and you will see an Earth again.

Pictures, clip art, or images
