Creating Your Own Project
We'll begin by creating a new diagram in Inspiration. Then, we'll change the symbol text so that the main idea is labeled appropriately for our project. We'll add more symbols to our diagram that will eventually help us build simile sentences about the main idea. We'll also learn how to replace the default symbols with graphics, and how to enter and edit text in the diagram. Finally, we'll learn how to print the diagram or outline that we've created, so we can share it with others.
