Using the freehand pen tool
You can find the freehand pen tool on the ‘add object’ button. Use this pen to annotate your pages, highlight parts of your page, or even draw simple drawings. It can also be used for hand writing. The pen tool is particularly good for younger children to produce brightly coloured simple picture web pages. It works well on a white board.

With the pen tool, choose the colour, line thickness and transparency to be used.
Draw with the pen tool either by click - drag - release, or by click - move - click which is easier for young children. Dots can be produced by double clicking.
If you don't like any line you draw, just press ‘undo’.
To finish using the pen tool, right click the mouse button, or choose
‘finish freehand’ from the right hand toolbar.

Using different size pens, and transparency, the pen tool can be used like a painting package. However, remember that all lines drawn are vector lines, so you can edit them later, changing their colour, position, thickness, transparency etc. You can even select and animate them.
