"Rapid Fire Digesting is analogous to going through the transcript with a yellow magic marker, and placing a post-it at each point where you start your mark. When using the Rapid Fire method, I keep Note Tag windows completely out of the way of the transcript text. Do this by moving the mouse arrow to Options and clicking on Wide Note Style. A check mark just to
the left of the option indicates you have turned on that option. Also under the Options menu, turn the Automatic Open Notes feature off. In other words, I do not want to see the Note Tags as I am going through the Rapid Fire capture process since I want nothing in the way of the deposition text as I review the transcript for more key segments.
Scroll down the open transcript until you come to a segment of testimony that you want to capture. Place the mouse arrow on the line number at the beginning of the segment. You will see a little pointing index finger in the margin and you are then ready to begin highlighting. Now hold on to the left mouse button and move the mouse arrow downward to the end of the
segment you want to capture. In Windowspeak this is referred to as dragging. To create a Note Tag covering the highlighted segment and simultaneously copy and paste the highlighted segment of testimony into the Note Tag, move the mouse arrow to the "Copy Selection Into New Digest Note" icon in the toolbar (the second icon from the left). Click with the left mouse button. The digest button
not only copies and pastes the highlighted testimony into a note, but it also closes and saves the previously created note."
From "The Litigator's Guide To Hands-On Use of Summation", by Jon B. Sigerman, Esq.

Hold down the left mouse button and drag it over the
testimony you wish to capture.

Click the Copy Selection Into New Digest Note Icon.
Testimony is Copied into a Note.
