Note

- You can set index notepads when the [Set as Index NotePad] is selected on the [Advanced] tab in the [NotePad Properties] dialog.
- Only unfixed index notepads can be aligned.
- For binders, index notepads are aligned in sequential page order.
- They cannot be aligned when annotations are hidden.

Select [Index NotePad Alignment] from [NotePad Alignment] in the [Annotation] menu.
The [Index NotePad Settings] dialog box appears.

Set the alignment position, and set the notepads to be aligned as index notepads.

### Aligning index notepads

Procedure
1.
Select [Index NotePad Alignment] from [NotePad Alignment] in the [Annotation] menu.
Index notepads are aligned to the right in a document, from top to bottom in order of page number. If index notepads reach the bottom of the document, the rest are displayed from the top again.
Note
If all notepads cannot be displayed on a page when aligned according to the settings of the [Index NotePad Settings] dialog box, the processing ends without aligning them. Organize your notepads and check the index notepad settings before alignment.
