Trying the Transparent Layer

A really cool tool you should try is the Transparent Layer. This tool allows you to write on anything with digital ink, including all files (such as the desktop or web pages). To activate the Transparent Layer, pick up a pen from the SMART Pen Tray or select the Pen icon on your Floating Tools toolbar. As soon as you pick up the pen, an invisible layer is placed over your current page, and you can write on it. To stop using the Transparent Layer, press the red X that appears in the upper right-hand corner of your layer.
