101.5 Using Card Templates or Custom Image

NoteDex allow you to insert a background image onto a NoteDex card.  There are many reasons why you might want to do this other than it's just very cool! 

There a 2 kinds of template you can choose from - images and tables.  Images are background images that we have created (or you can create) that insert onto a background layer on your card, ideal to then use a pen to draw over.   We also include a set of editable templates that you an use with text.  When you click the Editable tab you'll see a selection of cards where we have pre-designed some tables that get inserted into your Card. Pretty neat and pretty effective! l

Cick the template icon on the toolbar to show the different available templates.

You can add your own image by clicking the + sign, and also remove the template from the card by clicking the big red remove button!

Unlike the 'Insert Picture' feature, this will insert your image on the base layer of the card, so you can type, drawn and put more images on top.

Here is an example using a template image we provided with basic blue lines.

You can create any image (For example using PowerPoint) and then use that as a background image.  The possibilities are endless!

POWER TIP: If you have some 'real' index cards, take photos of them and then insert the image as a background image.  Now you can convert your physical index cards into virtual ones!
