Donna you can visit http://www.aph.org/beta/bp_new.htm There is a list of new features and links describing them. To access the note taking feature you use pound plus c plus f. I am not using the beta so someone who is may have more useful information for you. Joni ----- Original Message ----- Hi Ok, I downloaded the beta last night but cannot find any instructions on how to use the notetaking function. I tried following the links from the what's new document but did not get anywhere. Please could someone tell me where to look. Thanks Donna
