images. Select the 6th one down, which is the “shared shapes” collection.
4) Select which shape you want to use as a cover for your text. Drag it to the Flipchart
using your Activpen.

stretch or change the shape of the box so that it covers your text.
6) If you want to change the color of your shape, go back to the main toolbar and tap
your Activpen on the color you want it to be. The box should change colors.
7) Drag the shape over the sentence you want to cover. You will always be able to
move the shape unless you “lock” it, which will be covered later.
8) Save your Flipchart by clicking on the Promethean icon on the toolbar and
saving your file to “other location.....” and selecting your flashdrive.
