Add floating topics

Floating topics can be used for comments or to label the map. Floating topics are not displayed in Outline View.

Add a floating topic

Enter the new topic text

When the new floating topic appears on the map it remains selected so you can edit it right away.

  1. Type the new text.

  2. Press ENTER when you are finished.

Note that you may add subtopics to floating topics.

You can detach a topic from the map to create a floating topic. Press SHIFT and drag the topic to a new location to detach it.

To allow map subtopics to overlap a floating topic, right-click the floating topic and clear  the Snapped option. When checked, this option causes floating topics to move out of the way of new subtopics. Note that this option is re-enabled automatically if you move the floating topic.

Use the Show / Hide  command to show or hide floating topics on the map.
