Opening a Note-Taking File

 

If a note-taking file has been generated for a record in your Ibidem database, you can return to it at any time and continue taking notes.

 

1Open the bibliographic database and select the record for which you previously generated a note-taking file.
2Open the note-taking file in one of the following ways:
Click the Open Note-Taking Link button to the right of the Create New Link button on the Ibidem toolbar at the top of the screen.
Double-click on the green "Note-Taking Link" in the Note Link (L#) field of the Ibidem record.
Click Links, Open (or press Ctrl+K), select the link to open, and click Open.
Right-click in the Note Link field, then click Open Link.
3Edit the file the way you would edit any Nota Bene file. Save it as you would save any file (Ctrl+S or File, Save).

 

If you find that the Open Note-Taking Link button is grayed out and not active and if you find that there is no green "Note-Taking Link" in the Note Link (L#) field of the Ibidem record, that means that no note-taking file has been created for this record. Click the Create New Link button (a multi-colored button on the Ibidem toolbar at the top of the screen) to create a new note-taking file.
