  2. In the annotation note or balloon, double-clicking the text to edit it.
  3. In the text field, move the insertion point to the location where you want to insert the zone in the text.
  4. In the Note PropertyManager, under Text Format, click Add Zone .
  5. In the Add Zone dialog box, select one:
    Option Description
    Zone Inserts column and row
    Zone Column Inserts only column
    Zone Row Inserts only row
    Drawing View Inserts selected drawing view row and column
  6. Click OK.
  7. In the Note PropertyManager, click .
