To remove a shape, touch it with the pen, wait for the selection squares to appear, and type the Delete key on the keyboard. To erase a section of a drawing, change the pen color to white and draw over the darker lines. The Arrange Menu lets you flip, rotate, change the order of the layers, group objects into one drawing, and align groups of objects. Pressing Extras once will bring up the Extras menu. Pressing Extras twice while the window is open will close Extras.
Notes are the area where handwriting recognition can be used.
To get to Notes, press the Extras button and choose Notes. To return to Newton Works when done with Notes, press the Close button on the keyboard. You can write on the screen and allow handwriting recognition to guess what you wrote. To erase an area, scratch out the words using zig-zag lines. The words will disappear.
