User guide

Note: When you type a new indicator, the counter resets to the new style and you can continue numbering in that
style with the standard means. For example, if you type a in a text box, then point to another atom and use the con-
text menu or hotKey, the atom will be labeled b. Switching to another structure resets the counter.
3. To edit the atom number style, select the atom number with the Text tool and use the Text menu or Text formatting
toolbar to change the style.
