the job easier. On the toolbar at the top, there is a yellow document icon that opens
a separate text editor.
You can use any of the standard text editing buttons along the toolbar of this editor
to change the font, the font size, the font colour, paragraph justification, indentation
and, also, to create bulleted lists. You can resize this editor to take up the entire
screen by double clicking on the title bar. You can also copy and paste text from
emails, or Microsoft Word, or other word processors. Once you have finished editing
then click the red cross at the top right to close the editor. This will copy the contents
back to the Notes form. Please note that the note will not be saved until you click one
of the save buttons.
Searching Notes
The search dialog can be opened by clicking the icon of the binoculars on the
toolbar.
There are two parts to the search dialog. The right hand half allows you restrict your
search to specific parts of the database (such as Cashflow, or Tasks). Additionally,
you can choose to search across all projects in the database, or just the currently
selected/open project (the default).
The results are displayed in a grid on the left hand side.
You may sort, or rearrange these columns in the grid by clicking and dragging the
column header. Type in the first blank row to filter the rows on that row, e.g. Type “p”
into the ‘Project’ column to filter by all projects starting with the letter “p”.
Select a row (or multiple rows) by clicking on them with the mouse. You can use the
<Shift> or <Ctrl> keys whilst clicking to select a range, or discrete notes,
respectively. Once one or more notes has been highlighted, you may preview it in a
report by clicking the ‘Print Preview’ button. You can then save the report in a number
of different formats. Please see the topics on QuickReports and Reports for more
information.
