**Wonder Ink** opens the lesson. It is its own application, not the
browser, and it opens straight into the lesson site.

## Using it

1. Click **Wonder Ink** on the bar.
2. Sign in with your Wonder Ink account.

A lesson often opens several tabs — the lesson, its video, an activity.
They appear in a row across the top. Click a tab to move between them,
and the **×** on a tab to close it.

There is no address bar, on purpose. Wonder Ink can take you anywhere
the lesson needs to go.

## Making the lesson bigger or smaller

Press **Ctrl** and **+** to make the lesson bigger, **Ctrl** and **−** to
make it smaller, and **Ctrl** and **0** to go back to normal. You can also
right-click the lesson and choose **Make the lesson bigger**. When several
tabs are open, the **− 100% +** buttons at the top right do the same.

The size applies to every tab and is remembered next time.

## Printing

Press **Ctrl** and **P**, click **Print** at the top right, or right-click
and choose **Print page…**. You will see the pages exactly as they will
print.

* Choose **Only some pages** to print, for example, `2` or `1-3`.
* Set **Copies** for the number of children.
* Choose **Black and white** to save color ink. The preview turns grey,
  so you see what will come out; choose **Color** to go back.

**Printing a picture from the lesson.** Right-click the picture and
choose **Print image…**. Only that picture prints, not the page around
it. This works for pictures you cannot open by themselves.

In the preview for a picture, also under **Picture**: choose its
**Size** (for example 50%), click one of the nine **Position** squares to
put it in a corner or the middle, and choose **Paper** upright or
sideways. The preview changes as you choose, and shows exactly what will
print. **Fill the whole page** makes it cover the paper but cuts off the
edges. A picture that is open in a tab by itself prints the same way.

If Wonder Ink says a picture *could not be taken from the page*, it had
not finished loading: close the preview and try again, or choose **Print
page…** to print the whole page instead.

Click **Print**. Wonder Ink says when the printer has it and goes back to
the lesson. **Cancel** prints nothing.

## Worksheets and colouring pages

Click the worksheet link in the lesson. It opens in a new tab, ready to
read or print. A worksheet's own **−** and **+** at the top of the page
make it bigger or smaller.

Worksheets you download are kept separately from everything else on the
computer, so they never get mixed up with anything.

## When you have finished

**Close Wonder Ink at the end of your session.** Closing it signs you
out, so the next teacher in this room starts with their own account and
not yours.
