NCSA Mosaic for Microsoft Windows User's Guide
Just as you might make notes in the margin of an often read book or
article, there may be times when you want to "make notes in the
margin" of a document you have found on the Web. NCSA Mosaic's
annotation feature allows you to do this.
The annotation features are available from the Annotate menu.
The Annotate menu
Annotate...Annotate opens the Annotate window, allowing you
to create a new annotation.
The Annotate Window
- Author:
- By default, the email entry in the mosaic.ini file
will appear in this field. Change the entry if appropriate.
- Title:
- This entry can be changed to describe the annotation content.
- Enter the Annotation Text:
- Enter your annotation in this field.
- Clean Slate
- Erases the contents of the annotation text field.
- Include File...

- Delete

- Commit

- Dismiss

- Help

If you open an annotated document, the heading "Personal Annotation"
will appear at the bottom of the document. Selecting Annotation...Annotation
will display the annotation.
Annotate...Edit this annotation and Annotate...Delete this
annotation allow you to edit and delete annotations respectively.
Personal annotations are maintained on your system and are available
only to you. Group annotations are maintained on a group server and
are available to all members of a specified group. NCSA Mosaic for
Microsoft Windows is capable of handling both personal and group annotations,
but not simultaneously. See "Annotations section" in ``Editing
the File mosaic.ini'' for instructions on switching between the two.
