I've had several ArcReader users in my organization ask for the ability for ArcReader to allow the user to add mark-up text in order to annotate simple maps for inclusion into reports. A button like the "Add Text" one from ArcMap would be ideal:
This is VERY much needed. I thought a few releases ago I had read this was in the works? I saw on the forums someone asking again, and someone from ESRI suggesting posting the 'Idea' here. I certainly hope to see this added in the new future, have you ever tried to write (crayon) in legible text using a mouse? Not everyone using ArcReader for a markup tool is using a tablet.
