Typed Text

Predefined typed text annotations can be created in ImageRight Desktop as private annotations. These predefined notes can then be added to an image in Outlook Interface. To create the text notes, you must start ImageRight Desktop with the same user name and password that you use for Outlook Interface and create the notes there. Then the notes will be available for your use in Outlook Interface. For more information about creating private annotations, see ImageRight Desktop Help.

Before you continue with our example, you might find it helpful to review Adding Annotations. In that topic, we explain how to change the size of annotations, delete them, and more.
