This dialog box is available through the Check for Updates command under the Help menu. Use it to check the Internet for news and software updates from Fookes Software. News items are organized by category. A single mouse click on a news item will display the corresponding Web page in your browser or starts a file download. Icons are displayed next to news items and have the following meaning:
 | The news item has either been added today or after you last displayed news.
|
 | The news item has already been displayed before or has no date.
|
 | The news item link points to an .exe Setup file.
|
 | The news item link points to a .zip file.
|
 | The news item is an e-mail address link.

The News and Updates dialog box is useful to find out if a new NoteTab update is available. It also displays news about our other major releases and occasionally special offers that we make available to our users. Information is transmitted one way only, from our server to your computer. The news feature does not send any details about your system to us. NoteTab determines locally what relevant news to display to you.
Usually, program updates are downloaded and installed directly from within NoteTab — updating your software this way couldn't be easier. However, be aware that some download managers may take over this download process and interfere with normal operations. When this happens, you may see a prompt from NoteTab asking you to tell it when the download has been completed.
You can configure NoteTab to automatically check for news at regular intervals by checking the Poll for News command under the Help menu. The dialog box will automatically pop up if new news items have been added since the last viewing.
