Use the User Notes menu (figure above) to copy, print, and save text from abstracts or text accompanying audio, filmstrip, and video resources, or cards. A User Notes window allows you to enter selected text and use basic editing options, including cut, copy, and paste. You also can type, edit, print, and save your own notes in this window. User Notes menu commands include:

• New Notes: Creates a window for entering and editing notes.
  
• Open Notes: Opens a window containing text that was saved previously in a file. A User Notes window also can be opened from the View menu. Only one User Notes window can be opened at a time. If a User Notes window is already open and its contents have not been saved, you will be asked if you wish to save the notes before a new window is opened.
  
• Save Notes: Saves notes as a file on disk. If notes were saved previously with the same name, the old version will be replaced. If notes were not saved previously, this command will work the same as the Save Notes As command (see below). Notes files are saved to disk as basic text files that then can be opened and edited with most word processing programs. There is a 10 k limit to the size of a notes file.
  
• Save Notes As: Saves notes in a file using the name and destination that you select.
  
• Revert Notes: Changes notes back to the last version saved to disk.
  
• Print Notes: Prints notes using the current page setup.
  
• View Notes: If a User Notes window is open, this command brings the window to the front so you can view, edit, save, or print its contents.
