Getting Started
To run through the basics of where everything is, and what everything does in Windows Journal (ie. pen too, select tool, adding pages, etc), watch this short video:

Importing a document to annotate
//**Either...**//

click on the 'import' icon,

or go to the file menu and choose 'import'.

You will be presented with this screen:



Choose the file you wish to annotate (this might be a word document, a power point, or a picture file, etc).

When this screen appears:

Click 'Next'. All this means is that your document is being opened in its original program (ie, Word, Powerpoint, etc) as well as in Windows Journal. You can then annotate and scribble all over the copy in Journal without changing the original file.

Saving your annotated document as a pdf
A document annotated in Windows Journal is best saved as a pdf- that way, it can't be edited by students.

To save as a pdf, go to the File menu and choose 'Print'. Instead of your usual printer, choose 'Adobe PDF':



You will then be asked where you want to save your pdf file. Choose a location, and hit 'Save'.
