Memo Pad

The Memo Pad allows you to draft text, such as a query or Macro Language code, create temporary tables, and add images for use during your session.

The Memo Pad is a simple workspace version of a scratch pad or scrap paper. You can write notes and lists, copy and paste information from tables or Macro Language code, or add information you want to reference as you work. The contents of your Memo Pad will remain on a saved workspace exactly as it is when the workspace is saved if the window remains open or minimized.

Memo Pad contents cannot be saved individually and are not retrievable after the Memo Pad window is closed or the session of a non-saved workspace ends.

The Memo Pad is accessed by selecting Gadgets > Add Memo Pad from the menu bar. The Memo Pad window contains options similar to a standard text editor.
