Note:
If you issue the NOTEPAD command while displaying or modifying a
document, meeting or appointment the "Notepad" window contains an additional
field that allows you to attach the notepad page to the current object.
Specify the following information in the "Notepad" window:
- Notepad Subject
Each word you enter in the subject line is stored as a keyword with which you can retrieve the notepad page later. You can create several notepad pages which contain the same subject.
Noisewords such as "a, an, and, but, if, in, is, it, on, the" are not stored as keywords. Your Con-nect administrator specifies the words that are defined as noisewords within your environment.
- Note Text
You enter the text in the lines below the subject line. In contrast to the memo or the cover note, you cannot access the editor to write a longer note.
Press ENTER to add the notepad page.
The blank "Notepad" window re-appears and you can add another notepad page or quit the function.
Issue the following command sequence from any point in Con-nect to display a list of all pages in your notepad:
DISPLAY Notepad
As a result, the "Display Notepad Pages" screen appears.

Note:
The "Display Notepad Pages" screen lists only the pages of your
notepad. The notes which are attached to documents, appointments and meetings
are not displayed.
The "Display Notepad Pages" screen lists the notepad pages alphabetically. The columns display the following information:
- Subject
The subject (keywords) of the notepad page.
- Date Created
The date when you created the notepad page.
- Date Modified
The date when you last modified the notepad page.
The command prompting line of the "Display Notepad Pages" screen shows all the commands which apply to notepad pages. The commands are described in section Commands. The following exceptions apply when working with notepad pages:
When you issue the DETACH command with a specific notepad page, it is transferred to the editor ("Modify Document-name" screen). This automatically converts the notepad page into a document. The subject line of the notepad page becomes the document name.
This feature enables you to send a notepad page, or to include it in a larger text.
Once a notepad page is converted into a document, it is no longer displayed and listed together with the other notepad pages.
A document cannot be converted into a notepad page.
When you issue the DISPLAY command with a specific notepad page, the "Notepad" window contains an additional field: "X to erase". You can erase the displayed notepad page by marking this field with X (upper case) and pressing ENTER.
To modify a notepad page, you type over the existing text and/or subject line and press ENTER.
When you issue the ERASE command with a specific notepad page, the notepad page is erased from Con-nect. It is not placed in your Wastebasket.
You can look up notes on your notepad by referring to one or more words from the subject line. You can choose among several ways to find your notepad page, as described below.
Note:
This description does not apply to notepad pages which have been
attached to a document, meeting or appointment.
Issue the following command from any point in Con-nect to access the "Notepad" window:
NOTEPAD
The following topics are covered below:
To display a list of all existing notepad pages, enter an asterisk (*) in the subject line of the "Notepad" window - but no text on the text lines - and press ENTER to display the "Select Notepad Page(s)" window listing all existing notepad pages.

If the list exceeds one notepad display, you must press ENTER repeatedly to leaf through it.
Mark the notepad page(s) you want to display with any character and press ENTER.
If you mark more than one page, the topmost page is displayed first. You proceed to the next one by pressing ENTER.

You can also issue the command sequence "DISPLAY
Notepad" to display all notepad pages (see
Managing Your Notepad
Pages).
There are two ways to display the "Select Notepad Page(s)" window which lists all notepad pages whose subject line contains the specified keyword (if only one page is found, it is immediately displayed):
you can issue the command sequence "NOTEPAD keyword" from any point in Con-nect (you have to substitute "keyword" with an existing keyword; if you enter several keywords, you must use the blank substitute character), or
you can enter the keyword in the subject line of the "Notepad" window - but no text on the text lines - and press ENTER.
Caution:
If you enter more than one keyword, Con-nect finds only those
notepad pages whose subject line contains all the specified
keywords.

The number at the right of each keyword indicates in how many notepad pages it is contained.
Either enter a keyword in the "Select Keywords" line or mark a keyword with any character. Start the search by marking the "Search" field with any character and pressing ENTER.
Caution:
If you enter (or mark) more than one keyword, Con-nect finds only
those notepad pages whose subject line contains all the specified
keywords.
Con-nect searches the notepad for all notepad pages whose subject line contains the specified keyword(s). If only one page is found, it is immediately displayed; if Con-nect finds several pages containing the same keyword, a list of these pages is displayed, and you must mark the notepad page you want to display with any character.
To modify a notepad page, you type over the existing text and/or subject line.
As soon as you have modified the notepad page, the new keywords (which you have entered in the subject line) replace the previous ones in the keyword index as well as on the list of notepad pages.
Caution:
No copy of the original is retained. If you want to be sure not to
lose important ideas, create a new notepad page rather than modifying an
existing one.
