How many kinds of Diagram Note?

[Paolo F Cantoni]

There's the Diagram Note that you get when you enter text into the Notes attribute of the Diagram.  You can link to this text using the Link to Diagram Note context menu item for an existing Note.

There's the Diagram Note that you get when press the Diagram Note button (two to the right of the ordinary Note button)

And there's the one you get when you check the Diagram|Show Diagram Notes checkbox in the Tools|Options  NOTE: this only applies to NEW diagrams (as far as I can tell).

They're all different!  Some are selectable, some aren't!

Are there any more lurking within EA?

Does anybody know how I can get rid of the 2nd one (selectable) and replace it with the 3rd one (not selectable) for an existing diagram?

Also, I think I recall reading that one can change what's visible on the third type of Diagram Note.  Does anyone know how to do that?

Cheerz,
Paolo

You can get rid of the selectable one by selecting it and pressing Delete.
You can add an unselectable note by opening the Diagram Properties dialog (double-click on the diagram) and check Show Details on Diagram.

Thanks, Mikkel.  That's one problem solved!

Now, is there any solution to the details displayed list?

No way It's not configurable
