Recording protocol notes

In brief

If you want to, you can record notes about a protocol in the notes field on the Protocol's settings page - there are no limits to what you can enter.

Details

You may wish to use the protocol notes to record a brief synopsis of the protocol, together with a list of any changes you make. This can be particularly useful if the protocol is to be shared between different users.

Formatting

Since the protocol notes field is designed to help out other users of ANY-maze, you might want to format the text in such a way as to make it easier to read. For example, you might want to underline some titles, or make sections of the text bold, or a different colour (or both!).

When the protocol notes field is currently active (i.e. the cursor is in that field), then the Protocol notes format section of the ribbon bar will be enabled. This contains a number of options which apply to any text that is currently selected in the notes field. (If no text is currently selected, then the formatting you select will apply to new text when you start typing).

Reset formatting

Resets the formatting of the selected text to the default formatting (i.e. removes any colour, bold, italic, etc.)

Text colour

Opens a dialogue box allowing you to select a colour for the selected text.

Bold	Makes the selected text bold.

Italic

Makes the selected text italic.

Underline

Makes the selected text underlined.

Increase text size

Increases the size of the selected text by one point size.

Decrease text size

Decreases the size of the selected text by one point size.

Limits

There are no limits to what you can enter.
