Notes
The Notes feature lets you store comments in a project without affecting the actual
content of the project. You can use notes to add reminders, comments on the
content, or URLs to a project. An open note looks like adhesive or “sticky” notes
you might stick to hard copy.
When used with Quark Publishing Platform, the Notes feature uses settings defined

in Quark Publishing Platform. For more information, see A Guide to Quark Publishing
Platform.
Creating notes
To work with notes, first choose View > Show Notes to make sure notes are visible.
(If this menu item displays as Hide Notes, notes are already visible.) When this
option is unchecked, note icons are no longer visible in text and menu items for
working with notes are disabled.
To create a note, place the text insertion point where you want to enter the note
and choose Item > Note > Insert. A note window displays and in WYSIWYG view, a
Note icon also displays to the right of the text insertion point. Enter the note text
in the note window.
On macOS, a link is also shown between the note icon and the note window and

the newly created note is not shown on the Article area, instead it is shown in the
pasteboard area and doesn’t hide the Article text.
You can use notes to store comments in projects.
The Note icon is actually a special kind of text character. It does not affect the flow 
of text, but in other ways it works like a regular text character. For example, if you
select a range of text that contains a Note icon, then start entering characters, the
text (including the Note icon) is replaced by the characters you enter, and the note
is lost.
To change the formatting of notes, use the Notes preferences. For more

information, see “Preferences — Application — Notes.”
