Symbol Text is the best way to annotate large schedules, especially if you need text to "stick" to a task or symbol. Default Symbol Text is applied to symbols by double clicking a symbol in the toolbox and choosing the Symbol Options dialog box, Default Text tab. Each time the symbol is added to the schedule, the default text also gets added. Text attached to any symbol already on the schedule will not be affected by changes to the Default Text. That is, changes to the Default Text only affect symbols that subsequently get added not those already on the schedule. Freeform Text is most useful for blocks of text that are independent of any task or symbol. Freeform text will not move with a task row it is independent of any object. If you want to have text stick to a task without displaying a symbol, consider using a comment symbol. A comment symbol can be a blank symbol or a very small symbol on a task row. The comment symbol is ignored when computing start date, end date and duration so you can place it anywhere on your schedule you need text. To create a comment symbol, just double click any unused symbol in your toolbox and choose Comment Symbol under the Symbol Shape tab. Change the Default Symbol Text style and size by choosing the Format tab. In the Default Text section, click Symbol Text and make your changes. Do you want to add lengthy notes to a symbol, but not display the notes on the schedule? Try using Symbol Notes. Just click any symbol on your schedule the toolbar will change to the Selection tab. Select the Notes tab. In the Symbol Note section type your notes then press the apply 3-5
