Thank you for writing in with a question that seems to be on many users' minds. The answer is not so obvious by quite simple. When you come to the page in the Activity Wizard that has the library at the top of the page and the "choice pool" at the bottom, look at the choice pool. Find the distractor(s) that you want to get rid of and RIGHT click on each, selecting one at a time, and choose "empty." Once you've done this, the distractor gets eliminated from the choice pool. Continue the process until you have taken out all the necessary ones and then choose "Update" in the lower left hand corner for the changes to take effect. Enjoy creating and exploring the many and varied features of the MimioStudio software. If you get a chance, take a look at the plethora of tips and suggestions in the Ask a Master section of MimioConnect! Have a great day.

Yes, there is a user's guide which covers all of the MimioClassroom products as well as help with the notebook software. Topics include MimioStudio, MimioTeach, MimioCapture, MimioVote, MimioView, Mimio Recorder, Getting Help and Troubleshooting. There are 3 versions available: Windows, Macintosh, and Linux depending upon your operating system. The guide can be downloaded by going to the link below and then to the MimioStudio Software heading (2nd one in the first row) and look below the picture to the second phrase down (MimioClassroom User's Guide). You'll need to click on the arrow next to the words and choose the version needed. The guide gets downloaded as a .pdf file. If there is anything else you need, just let us know. We're here to help. If you get a chance, take a little time to peruse the Ask a Master section of MimioConnect for more tips and suggestions.
