An annotation may be saved into a separate annotation file with the file extension of “ann”, or save by burning into the image. If saving to an annotation file, all the objects’ parameters are saved in the order of creation. The user must load the annotation file programmatically or manually. See the source below:
Private Sub AnnoSave(fileName As String)
If fileName <> ““ Then
ActiveForm.Anno.AnnoSaveToFile(fileName)
End If
End Sub
