block typewriter / typemachine

Post by Loewie »

I heard about this program today, and I am very exited!
A very good program!!

But I have this question: Is it possible to block Typewriter?
I want the children to work in a digital (PDF) schoolbook.
Everytime they need to write an answer, they have to choose 'Typewriter / typemachine"
Is there a possability, to set this option till you choose an other option?

Thanks for the suggestions....

Yes. That is possible.
  • Display the Properties Toolbar with Control E (if its not already displayed).
  • Select the typewriter tool.
  • Click on "Keep Tool Selected" on the Prperties Toolbar.
You can also customise the interface to assign shortcut keys to all of the tools.
  • Right-click on a toolbar to show the customise dialogue.
  • Select the Commands Tab
  • Select the Tools Category
  • Select the Typewriter tool and click on Properties
  • Type "t" for example to assign that shortcut
