Note: This topic is for Document/Medical only.

The Redaction annotation object is a rectangle with default properties that are appropriate for blacking out an area. In design mode, click and drag to specify the rectangle in the current window. Holding down the Shift key while drawing the rectangle will make the Redaction annotation square.

In design mode, click on the object with the right mouse button to do the following:

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Undo the last user action.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Cut or copy the object to the clipboard.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Delete the object.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Select all objects.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Bring the object to the front or send it to the back.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Lock and unlock annotation objects. See Password Dialog Box for Annotations.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Change the Name properties. See the Name Dialog Box for Annotations.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Change the background color. See Color Dialog Box for Annotations.
