To activate a tract , simply place the mouse in it and click the left mouse button. See Moving All Tracts and Text Relative to the Paper in the manual. Use Asterisks before each entry that is to be suppressed. Don't confuse this with the turning on or off of all deed calls. That's all there is to it.
Most customers prefer to move the tracts with the mouse.
Any corner of any tract can be snapped to fit any corner of any other tract. The manual walks you through an example of this. You are probably confusing this with a metes and bounds reference to a standard section. Ignore this example if you don't have calls to the True Point of Beginning, and you are not working with standard government sections. The remaining versions were designed for Windows.
