The annotation types available are Line, Arrow, Freehand, Polyline, Polygon, Oval, Sticky Note, Callout, Text Box, and Rectangle). For all the tools, apart from the Sticky Note tool, you can change the color and line settings in the Annotation Options screen.

To change the default settings for annotations, select File > Options and Settings > Annotation Options.

You can change the following options:
  • Line color, thickness, style, and the line start and end styles
  • Fill color
  • Font size

  • Opacity (the transparency level of the object)

Existing annotations will not change. However, you can change the properties of an individual annotation using the Drawing options. For information on adding, changing, and removing annotations, see Use Redline / Markup.
