Derek.
Really the best way to do this is by copy and paste to another program with
more annotation features: Word, PowerPoint, etc.
Start out with this:
* Select Edit from the Bioexplore menu bar
* Copy image to clipboard.
* Paste Special to word or other application as a metafile.
* R click on the image and select Ungroup. This generates boxes for each
text item. They can all be modified indepently.
Also, we can support the Xcalibur software much better than the old
Navigator software. The latest Xcalibur has many important new features for
peptide and protein analysis and the upgrade is inexpensive. The downside
is that a more powerful computer may be required.

Subject: MS: Using LCQ Bioexplore/navigator
Hi All,
I require the help of the collective expertise as I'm tearing my hair out
trying to annotate a series of spectra using the Bioexplore/Navigator
package supplied with our LCQ. I can get simple text to appear directly
above the peaks but where the spectra becomes a little crowded it seems
impossible to get pointers to label the peaks from slightly above the main
body of the spectra. I've tried every combination of settings possible and
scoured the HELP menu and instruction manual for clues but none of them
give specific enough instructions for a dunce like me. They are all along
the lines of "....checking the pointer box enables you to draw pointers
from the text to the area of interest....", but not how you actually do it!
I can get this to work for chromatograms but trying to label any mass
spectra...............?!
Any suggestions will be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Derek Bradley
