To find all private articles within an open data file:

 

If the privacy indicators are not showing in the Titles column of the Index Window, select the Preferences command from the File menu.

 

The Preferences dialog box is displayed.

 

On the Index Window tab, make sure that the Show Privacy checkbox is checked.

 

If this box is not checked, click it to check it.

 

Select the OK button to close the Preferences dialog box.

 

The privacy indicators will now show in the Titles column next to each private article.

 

In the File menu, select the Show Private Articles command to display private articles.

 

If this command is already checked, then private articles are already showing. If this command is grayed out, then this data file has no private articles.

 

Type your password into the Enter Your Password dialog box and press Enter.

 

Click on the Show All Titles button on the Toolbar.

OR Select the Show All Titles command from the Article menu.

 

If your data file is very large, this may take a few moments.

 

In the header of the Titles column, click on the privacy indicator to sort by privacy.

 

All private articles are sorted to the top of the Titles column.
