How can I make a sticky note stay open?

Thank you! This worked perfectly! xo

That's an excellent hypothesis.  But unfortunately it's not the answer.  That's because I normally keep the Acrobat Comments List closed because my screen is wide enough that comments and sticky notes can be readily seen outside the page boundaries (even if the navigation pane is open on the left).  So its more efficient to view the comments and sticky notes just outside the page boundaries than to view them in the Comments LIst at the right edge of the screen.

Comments associated with highlighting will always stay open on my computer.  But sticky notes are very hard to get to stay open.  There seems to be some obscure combination of actions that will make a sticky note stay open.  Now each time that I add a sticky note I experiment a little until I get frustrated and give up.  The list of actions to get a sticky note to stay open seems to involve performing some of the following actions (and perhaps other actions) in a certain order (that I haven't been able to figure out):

• add the sticky note to the document (by typing S and then clicking where the the sticky note icon is to appear)
• type the text in the sticky note
• F5 to move the focus from the sticky note into the document
• Page Down to go the next page
• Ctrl+End to go to the end of the document
• save the document.

I'll keep working on it, but I'll greatly appreciate any suggestions that anyone may have.

Thanks again,
