- 00:03 Now, I want to show you how to make a handwritten note.
- 00:07 I could be on this page or on any page.
- 00:08 So I'm going to come up here, and will pick on the Draw menu, okay,
- 00:13 I'll pick on Draw.
- 00:15 And then you pick one of your pen colors, or even here is a highlighter, and
- 00:19 there's different pens and different pen colors that you can choose.
- 00:24 So I'll just pick on black.
- 00:26 Okay, now, your mouse is actually a pointer.
- 00:31 If you notice, let me highlight the mouse, it's that little tiny dot that you see.
- 00:36 So you can draw with your mouse, it's not very easy to draw with your mouse, but
- 00:41 you can do it.
- 00:41 I'll just write my name in with my mouse, all right?
- 00:48 Now, if you have a stylus or if you have a touchscreen,
- 00:52 you can actually draw with your finger.
- 00:56 So if you have a mobile device or a tablet, or even a touchscreen on your
- 01:01 desktop, then, in this case I'm going to try to write with my finger.
- 01:06 I'm going to try to write my name in this time, and there's my handwriting,
- 01:11 all right?
- 01:12 So, if you notice, I did the Draw menu, and then you pick your pen over here.
- 01:19 Now also, let's say that last one I want to erase.
- 01:22 It's actually called ink there.
- 01:25 So I'll pick on the eraser, and then I'll just click on the ink that we just made.
- 01:31 And then you can see it's starting to go away.
- 01:34 Good, so when you're done with your pen,
- 01:37 typically you want to go back to the normal cursor, which is here.
- 01:41 So I'll pick on the the Draw menu, and this time I'll pick on the red pen.
- 01:47 And then you can see over here, I'm going to try to draw with my finger again.
- 01:52 I'll try to write in my name, okay?
- 01:58 Remember, you can always erase it up here as well.
- 02:02 If you notice over here, you can pick on the color and shapes.
- 02:06 Then you could choose different colors of pens,
- 02:12 and different thicknesses of the pens as well.
