Contents

Field	Description
Text	Use this field to enter the text for the annotation in this box. Annotations can contain multiple lines of text. To insert a line break in annotative text, press Ctrl+Enter. It is also possible to cut or copy text from an annotation to the Clipboard as well as to paste text from the Clipboard into an annotation.
Attach to Activity ID	You can enter the ID of an activity to which the annotation should be attached. If you attach an annotation to an activity, the annotation will move with the activity whenever the activity is moved on the view. If you access the Annotation dialog box by right-clicking an activity, the activity ID is displayed in this field. Each activity can have only one annotation. Attaching an annotation to an activity that already has one detaches (but does not delete) the old annotation.
Style	Open Plan allows you to select from the following borders for the annotation: No Border Square Box Round Box Ellipse
Text Color	Open Plan allows you to select the color on which the annotation is displayed by clicking the down arrow. The Color dialog box that is displayed offers a choice of 70 standard colors. You can define custom colors using an enhanced version of the Color dialog box accessed from the Color tab of the Options dialog box.
Background Color	Open Plan allows you to select the background color on which the annotation is displayed by clicking the down arrow. The Color dialog box that is displayed offers a choice of 70 standard colors. You can define custom colors using an enhanced version of the Color dialog box accessed from the Color tab of the Options dialog box.
Use Default Font	Open Plan gives you the option to select the default font type and size, Arial, 50 pt.
Resize Box to Fit Data	Open Plan gives you the option to allow the annotation box to resize automatically, depending on the amount of text you entered in the Text field.
Font Button	This provides access to a dialog box where you can specify the typeface for the text in the annotation. Note: Selecting the <Default> options in the Style, Text Color, and Background Color fields in this dialog box allows for the annotation to take on the values that were set in the Network Preferences dialog box. The fields in the Network View Annotation dialog box are also updated when you make changes in the Network Preferences dialog box. After you have created an annotation, you can move it or resize it using the mouse. You can also use commands to display the annotation behind other objects, to edit its contents, or to delete it.
