Add pop-up text to books

You can add explanations and guidance to books in a pop-up box. Pop-up text allows you to provide information to people about what they need to do.

Procedure

  1. In edit mode, add a shape, an image, or some text, to the sheet.
    You click the shape or text to display the pop-up box.
  2. Select the shape, image, or text, and click properties, Pop-up Text > Enable Pop-up text.
  3. Select Preferred Position: Top, Bottom, Left, or Right. Preferred Position is the position of the pop-up box in relation to the shape, image, or text.

    The Preferred Position might not be possible because of the location.

    For example, if you select Top, but the position of the shape, image, or text that you are clicking is at the top of the screen, the pop-up box uses the opposite position.
