Simple Notes not editable and printing at correct scale

Hi, I am learning CAD for the first time on Draftsight using the Standard version. I have worked on a couple of tutorials on getting started getting title blocks done etc. The tutorial suggested using SimpleNotes but when you type them in and then double click to edit nothing happens and the whole screen goes grey as opposed to using the Notes function. If anyone could point me in the right direction on this and the basics of learning the principles of printing out your work on paper at the correct true scale I would be most appreciative. Thanks Kieron
