instructions for a person reviewing the document.

2. Click on the page where you wish to place the note, and a yellow speech-bubble appears
3. The new note automatically opens a pop-up note. Click inside the pop-up note to enter your text.
4. To finish adding your text, click anywhere outside the annotation
5. Double-click on the yellow speech-bubble to show or hide the pop-up note
NOTE: You can click and drag the yellow speech-bubble to move it anywhere on the page of your doc-
ument.

Default note properties
To make all your future Notes to look the same as the selected note:

To reply to a note:
1. If the text for the note is hidden, double-click on the speech bubble to make the pop-up note
appear

up note.

annotation.
