The notes areas found on the Acquisition View and the Calendar View can contain general purpose descriptive text that just doesn't fit into any of the standard categories.  These notes can be enhanced with word processing-like features for selecting fonts and styles.  In addition, you can insert hyperlinks from one specimen record to another -- see the document on Adding cross references to specimen in the notes area.

Use the font style buttons to change the selected text to bold, italics, and underlined	Use the green leafed button to add a hyperlink to another specimen	Use the font color selector to change the selected text color	Use the font face selector to change the selected text font	Use the font size selector to change the selected text size

The font formatting applied to your notes is displayed only in the special rich-text note fields.  No formatting is displayed in the Specimen List or on any printed report.
