The next button does the same with the script, you can choose, which note categories to display and which to hide. This selection does not influence the notes in your script, itвЂ™s just what notes show up here in the NaviDoc on the side. The left most button lets you choose which of the notes categories you want to have displayed in the NaviDoc. LetвЂ™s have a quick look at the buttons in the NaviDoc to see what else is there to know. To create a new note, instead of going to the element chooser up top, you can also use the вЂњAdd Note ElementвЂќ dropdown menu at the top of the NaviDoc and choose, which category you want to use for your new note right there. So, from the category section of the NaviDoc where you see this dropdown menu that now says, вЂњDefault Note CategoryвЂќ, letвЂ™s select the вЂњFeedbackвЂќ category that we just created.ДЄnd now if we go back to our script and create a new note element by choosing вЂњNoteвЂќ from the element chooser up top, we get a вЂњFeedbackвЂќ category note and we see that it has this organe color that we defined earlier. If we want to create a note of the вЂњfeedbackвЂќ category now we go to another place in the script with the cursor, but before we add a new note element here we need to make sure we tell the program which category it should use for the note.Д«ecause before we only had the default category, now we have two different ones. So, letвЂ™s click on the background color chooser and pick orange. Right next to the category name you have these two color fields, the first one is the text color, the second one if the background color. But letвЂ™s say, we want that category to be orange. You see that this new category is given a different color by default, so if we like that color thereвЂ™s nothing left to do. LetвЂ™s name that note category, вЂњfeedbackвЂќ for example. In the part of the NaviDoc where it now says, вЂњDefault Note CategoryвЂќ, with the text and background colors shown next to the category, letвЂ™s click the вЂњplusвЂќ button right below to create a new category. So, letвЂ™s say, we want to have two different kinds of notes, for example, we want one set of notes that we ourselves put in the script, and we want to have another set of notes that holds feedback from readers.ДЄnd we want to distinguish the two sets very easily.ДЇor that weвЂ™re going to create a new note category. If you take a look at the NaviDoc you see that the note weвЂ™ve just created shows up there in the lower part of the window and it gives you a preview of the notes content. This note now has the default category because we havenвЂ™t set up any others yet.

If you place your cursor somewhere in the script where you want to place a note, and then you go to the screenplay element chooser up top and pick вЂњnoteвЂќ, you see that there is a default note inserted and you can type in whatever you want as the content of your note. That makes using notes in Movie Magic Screenwriter very flexible.

What is nice about the Notes in Movie Magic Screenwriter is that you can custom define different types of notes, you can style them differently, in order to distinguish them well in your script, and you can define for each of those notes categories if you want that cagetory to be included in a print out or not. To access the NaviDoc Notes section, make sure the NaviDoc is displayed, by clicking on the NaviDoc button in the lower left corner, and then in the NaviDoc itself, click on the вЂњNotesвЂќ section.
