Annotating+in+Word

=Annotating Word documents and saving annotations as a pdf=

To annotate a Word document:

1. Put your laptop in tablet mode.

2. Open the file you wish to annotate in MS Word.

3. Under the 'review' menu, click on the 'start inking' icon to bring up your drawing tools.



You can then use the various tools to annotate your document in whatever fashion you choose.

Saving the document as a pdf
Once you've annotated your document, saving the file as a pdf means you can email it (to students, parents or other teachers), save a copy on your hard drive, or save a copy on the S drive for many students to access. Once saved as a pdf, there is no way the annotations can be altered.

There are two ways in which you can save as a pdf:

1. Click File => Save As, and choose pdf as your file type:

Also note that you can choose either 'standard' or 'minimum' file size, which changes how big the size of the final pdf is. Choosing a minimum file size will make the file smaller, but also decrease the resolution somewhat.

2. The other way to create a pdf is to click File => Print.

Instead of printing to your regular printer, choose Adobe PDF, click print and your file will be created. You will then be prompted as to what to call it, and where you want to save it.
