I've had this problem myself with my laptop when I go from being on a large
monitor to the smaller laptop screen.
After I read your message I thought I'd try writing something to help both of
us.
This looks for windows that belong to powerpro and shows you a list.
Of course this shows you more than just notes but I think you can work with it.
You can choose to move one or all of them.
I found that I had more success in using handles to move notes rather than
captions because some of my captions were strange and occasionally wouldn't
move unless I used their handles.
I think you could also use this sort of idea if you had hidden many notes and
only wanted to show one instead of unhiding them all.
Hope you have as much fun using Powerpro as I have.
