Want to get the toolbox out of your way? Open any flipchart and simply click on the Toolbox Options icon in your Toolbox (shown on the left). You can choose to dock the palette to the left/right side of your screen, at the top like other applications, or at the bottom for easy access for younger students. You can also roll in and/or roll up the toolbox giving you more space to view your flipchart.
