SCRAP BOOK
The scrapbook is an object transfer facility that allows you to transfer objects to another page

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.
