Adding Annotations to Your Document
The following sections describe the various ways you can annotate your
document. For a sample of annotations you can add to your document,
refer to the “Modifying a Document” section, presented earlier in this
chapter.
Adding Text to a Document
You can add text on any portion of your document. When you do so, you
can select the text attributes: font, font size and colour, and special effects
(underline, strikeout), background colour and mode.
You can type any text that you want, editing it later as necessary. If you
select a font, font size, a colour, or special effect, it affects the entire note. If
you change any of the attributes while editing a note, or while the note is
selected, it changes all the text in the note.
To add text to the document:
1. Click the Annotations button on the Image palette.
2. In the Annotation toolbox, click the Text button and drag the cursor to
draw an appropriately sized square or rectangle in the document
display area.
3. Enter the new text.
To edit text added to a document:
1. In the Annotation toolbox, with the Selection tool selected, double-click
the text you added. The cursor changes to an insertion point.
2. Edit the text as needed.
3. Click anywhere outside the text to save your changes.
To change the font and colour:
1. Select the text.
2. To set font properties for the text, on the Annotation menu, click Select
Font. In the Font dialog box, select the font attributes and click OK.
