text to favorites

Anonymous — Mon, 25 Apr 2005 20:22:31 GMT

we have a series of general notes that need to appear on our plans & have noticed that can only save labels to favorites. When we try text, it only saves settings, not the actual note. Is there a way around this?

You might try typing your general notes
then saving them as a GDL object.
Place the object where ever you want.
If you need to change the text in
some situation, explode the object
back to text to make the changes.

Also considering saving your notes to a Module (MOD) file. If you create a whole bunch of mod's in a notes folder, you can think of each file as a saved clipboard, ready to paste (merge). [Mac users have other options.]

For all that people complain about the problems with OLE and Word (which only works on XP, which is your platform), I've been reasonably satisfied with using that combination to link my notes into my layout sheets.

Is this a simpler solution?... use the label tool, but triple-click so the arrow is but a dot that can be made non printing..

I am using a programmed Label-Object, which reads the text out of different macro-objects. The macros are "childs" of a plain one, which contains a user interface to edit and manage the different standard descriptions.

I can duplicate and modify them for actual projects.
