Reading Notes

When you have installed the Notes XTension, the Show/Hide Notes Information command is available under the View menu. Use the “Test these notes” document, included with this XTension. 

1.  Open a QuarkXPress document.

2.	Choose Show Notes Information from the View menu to display the Notes palette. The Notes window is the area where the text will appear. Hold the mouse button down over the menu bar to move the Notes palette. 

NOTE:  If a text box is active and the Content tool is selected, you’ll see buttons for viewing and creating/deleting notes in a document. If anything other than a text box is active (a line or a picture box) and no items are active, you'll see a reduced version of the palette.

 












3.  Click Forward>> or <<Backward to move from note to note in the Notes window. In the document, the Text Insertion bar will automatically jump to where a note has been inserted in the text. If there are no more notes to go to, you will hear a “beep.”

NOTE:  Choose Show Invisibles to see the notes marker, indicating where a note has been inserted.
 



4.  Use the arrow keys to move the Text Insertion bar through the text. When the bar moves directly over a notes marker, the note will appear in the Notes window.

NOTE:  The Notes palette will stay the same size regardless of what view your document is in.

5.  Choose Hide Notes Information from the View menu to close the Notes palette. Or, click the close box on the Notes palette.
