How?

Your computer's desktop becomes the background of your flipchart page. The Main Toolbox remains open, so you can select tools and save or discard your desktop flipchart.

You can browse your computer, launch applications and use ActivInspire's tools to create and manipulate annotations and other objects. The objects you create in your flipchart are an overlay of the desktop, they will not remain on your desktop when you close the desktop flipchart.

If you save the flipchart, it will not include a picture of your desktop.
