I have an Annotation Geodatabase Feature class that was created in arc map 9.3 and when I try to add new text in Arc Map 10.0 the create feature window doesn't show up. I was wondering how I add text to this Geodatabase Feature class Annotation in Arc Map 10.0.
Thanks,
Bret

Hi Bret,

The process for creating annotation and dimensions is the same as for other feature types, so the Annotation and Dimensioning toolbars are not found in ArcGIS 10 since the tools have been integrated with the Create Features window. To create annotation, choose an annotation feature template on the Create Features window and a construction tool, such as Horizontal or Straight. When you click the feature template, the Annotation Construction window appears so you can enter the text of the new annotation, control how the text is placed, and set any additional symbol properties.

Please refer to this blog post, I think you would find it useful:
