5.3.3.3 Comments
E-DataAid allows the user to add comments to the data file. For example, it may be beneficial to
add comments concerning a specific subject, the procedure, something that may have influenced
the session, etc. To add a comment to the file, first use E-DataAid’s Display Annotations
command on the View menu to display the Annotations dialog. Click the Create New button to
display the Annotation Text dialog. Enter the text to be included as the comment and click the
OK button. The comment will be added to the file in the form of a user annotation.

button to see all of the text.
