If you have a height-adjustable wall mount, you
can also adjust the height of your interactive
whiteboard or display so that students can
reach it.
Toolbar buttons described in this documentation
don’t appear on the toolbar.
If a down arrow appears on the right side of the
toolbar, press it to display additional toolbar
buttons.
If your desired button doesn’t appear when you
click the down arrow , you or another user might
have removed the button (see Customizing the
toolbar on page 143).
Don’t span more than a few buttons across rows
to prevent the toolbar from being wider than the
SMARTNotebook software window.

Two users are creating or manipulating objects in
SMARTNotebook software on a SMARTBoard
800 series interactive whiteboard. One user is
using his or her finger. The other user is using a
pen from the pen tray.
When the user using the pen presses a button in
the toolbar, the selected tool or option changes
for the user using his or her finger instead.
The user using the pen must press buttons in the
toolbar with the pen, not with his or her finger.
