2. Then select (Internals) which will be in the long list of options that will pop up after selecting (Folder). 3. Select desired document for coding 4. Then select (Tree Node) which will be in the long list of options that will pop up after selecting (Folder). (Note: You will now have two windows: Tree nodes and your document window) 5. In the tool bar above, you will have the option to select ((Detail View Right) or (Detail View Bottom)) (Note: We found it easier to work with Detail View Right) 6. To code, simply highlight desired text in your document, click and drag into the desired node. Coding from Node to Node: 1. Select (Folder) on the lower left hand side. 2. Then select (Tree Node) which will be in the long list of options that will pop up after selecting (Folder). 3. Double click on the node from which you would like to copy content and place into another node. 4. To code, simply highlight desired text in your node, click and drag into the desired second node. Uncoding: 1. If you would like to remove text from a node. 2. Open Node 3. Highlight text that you would like to uncode including internals and reference (Note: If there is more than one reference for a specific code, only select the reference and the text, not internal link in blue) 4. Right-click 5. Select (Uncode Selection) 6. Select (At This Node)
