Background Help

[purpleteacher]

I have been looking through old posts to see if this question has been asked, but way too many post to go through. Please tell me how to save background flipcharts as resource backgrounds?
This Newbie thanks you,
Gina

(1) If what you have on the flipchart page is truly a background, you can right click on the page (with your resource library open to the folder where you want to save it) and select Add to Resource Library>Add Background.

(2) If what you have on the flipchart page is something you created with ActivInspire and is not YET a background, you can right click on the page and select Export Page and save that file (like on your desktop)

Then you should go to a new blank page and select Set Background. Then select Image, click Browse and navigate to the file you just saved. Typically I choose Stretch Fit. Now you have that image as your background and you can do what I wrote above (1).

Hope that helps!

Thank you Lisa. I now have some new abstract backgrounds. Just to show how new I am, when I went to the videos, I didn't notice you could scroll. I kept wondering when there would be different videos(LOL)
Thanks,

:p Yes, I've heard that the video player for the Activtips will be updated soon. It's a great player but now that there are so many videos, it's not quite as easy to find what you are looking for.

You can also subscribe to them in iTunes and play them back on video iPods! I have them all on my computer now in iTunes so can see them when offline.
