Draw a sticky note

The Sticky Note tool draws a resizable yellow icon that opens up a text window when a user clicks on it. This is like pasting a sticky note on a paper document. The following examples show a sticky note drawn on an image. The second example shows the toolbar and resize controls for another annotation. Each sticky note is numbered sequentially, in the order created. If you delete one of these, the missing numbers are not reused.
