If you write or draw multiple lines, SMARTNotebook software automatically combines
the lines into a single object. For example, if you write the letters of a word,
SMARTNotebook software combines the individual letters, enabling you to interact
with the whole word. If you want to write words on the same line but don’t want them
combined, leave a large gap between them, use different pens, or briefly put the pen in
the pen tray before writing another word (interactive whiteboards only).

If you want to write diagonally, write in a straight line, and then rotate it (see Rotating
objects on page 85).
