Microsoft Office Ink

Purpose
Microsoft Office does have inking tools, however because the district runs the Windows XP operating system, such tools are not available. A blue warning box can pop up every time your interactive projector is on and you open a Word, Excel, Power Point, or any Microsoft Office document telling you these inking tools are not available. If not properly exited out of, these pop-ups can cause problems for your documents. Below are directions for how to turn these warnings off.

Directions
1.Open a Microsoft Office application like Word, Power Point, etc. This example is being done in Power Point.

2. Click on the office button in the top left corner.

3. Select 'PowerPoint Options'

4. Click on 'Add-Ins'

5. Select 'Go' next to 'Manage: COM Add-Ins'

6. Uncheck the 'SMARTInk-PowerPoint All' box. Then click 'OK' Warning: Turning off the SMARTInk-PowerPoint All tools in Power Point disables your Power Point SMART Ink toolbar in presentation mode.

7. These steps are the same in all Microsoft Office applications, and must be completed in any program that you would like to turn off the blue warning messages.

8. Please submit a [mailto:helpdesk@kunaschools.org help desk ticket] letting us know that you had to complete these steps, so that we may follow up with you.
