RapidRemarks > RapidRemarks Manager > Adding new RapidRemarks

Use the navigation pane (Table of Contents) to open the folder you would like your new RapidRemark to be stored in. If a folder does not exist, click to the previous level and use the “New Folder…” button to create a folder. Once you’ve established a storage location, press “New RapidRemark…” to start a new RapidRemark.

You will be asked to name the RapidRemark; this text is what is displayed in the navigation pane of the WhisperReporter Ascent main screen and the text that is searched when using the auto-paste feature. Be sure to be as descriptive as you can and use well defined key words to aid the auto-paste functionality. Once the RapidRemark is named, the text editor will be enabled and you can type or copy/paste in the RapidRemark text. You also have the opportunity to use any of the available features of the toolbar. RapidRemarks can contain tables, tags, picklists, bulleted lists, cloakable text, images, etc. You are also given the additional option of setting custom margins and page orientation for your RapidRemark using the page properties button ; however, these are used for previewing only and not used when inserted into a topic since it is the Chapter Layout which dictates margins and page orientation.

Other ways to quickly add a RapidRemark:

•Right click the editor and select "Save as RapidRemark" from the pop-up menu. This applies to selected text or the whole topic comment if nothing has been selected in the topic.

•Use the [Ctrl] + F4 keyboard shortcut to automatically open the RapidRemark Manager, navigate to the current topic, auto-fill the RapidRemark name dialog and add the text to the RapidRemark text editor. This applies to selected text or the whole topic comment if nothing has been selected in the topic.

•You can drag a selected paragraph into the RapidRemark panel and onto either a folder or anther RapidRemark to automatically open the RapidRemark Manager, navigate to the current folder/RapidRemark you were dropping the selected text onto, auto-fill the RapidRemark name dialog and add the highlighted text to the RapidRemark text editor.

Any new RapidRemark folders that are created need to be associated with a RapidRemark View so that they are available in topics where they are needed. This is all done in the RapidRemark View Manager.
