Export and Print related Notes

Sometimes you may want to export and/or print all the notes related to a specific activity or project. You can do this by choosing to export only the notes displayed in your notes panel. Here's how:

1. Select the Activity or Project whose notes you'd like to export (if you'd like to export notes for a whole project, select the top-level "parent" activity for that project).

2. If you would like to export all the notes for a project (and not just for a specific activity), click on the "Include Notes for Sub-Activities" checkbox in the notes panel (located below your activity outline). This will display all the notes linked to any activity in this project.

3. Now, click File > Import/Export > Export Notes to Rich Text Files. Make sure that you have selected to export the notes currently being shown in your notes panel (and not your entire notebook).

4. Save them all to a new folder (you can click "create new folder" in the options box), or to an existing location.

5. After you've saved your notes, open your Document application (MS Word, for example). Select all the new .rtf files that were created from your notes, and drag them all into the body of the Word document. Word will automatically merge them into a single document, so you can print out all your notes at once. Unfortunately, Word will not put any breaks between notes, but this does at least give you a way to print out all your project details in a single document.
