SCRAP BOOKThe scrapbook is an object transfer facility that allows you to transfer objects to another page or document, or store it as a scrapbook file for later use. Objects in the scrapbook retain all their properties, so you can use this facility to prepare personalised widgets and other assets so that they are always on hand to drop into documents or pages.

The page tab of the scrapbook allows you to store objects which are specifically for use with that page. It works like the word wallet, but for objects and means that you can set up for example a drag and drop or labelling activity with the labels stored in the page scrapbook to be dragged onto the page by the pupil, thus saving screen space. The scrapbook opens in a window, similar to the word wallet. Items can be saved to the ‘Page scrapbook’ for re-use in the current document, or to the ‘Easiteach scrapbook’ for use in other documents.

Items can be added to the scrapbook by clicking on the ‘Add to scrapbook’ option in the accelerator menu of the object.
