Re: Drawing in FMP

I want to be able to "annotate" a layout (using arrows and lines, etc)
overlying a set of existing fields. Kind of like using Microsoft's "digital
ink", but since FMP is not Tablet PC native, it can't be done simply.

(I have an oval that represents the eye, and there are fields with numbers
around the periphery. I want to draw in the blank central oval. I don't want
to draw elsewhere, and copy and paste into a container field - I need to do
it right there where it is.)
