Where are the similes? (measure repeat symbols)

Hi.

I'm working on transcribing some of my past music for a scholarship. I have been sitting here for an hour trying to find out how to create measure repeats/similes in finale. I can't find any information about it in the index or online. I have finale 2005b. PLEASE if anyone can help me out. I feel stupid here...

hey Haserhud! Click on the Staff Attributes tool and select the measures you want, then select alternate notation, there you will see options for slash notation, rhythmic notation, and one and two-bar similes (repeats)\

Thanks haserhud! But.. I'm a little confused. This applies to the entire staff, not a single measure.. How do I get it to apply to a single measure?

Sorry about that haserhud. Click the staff tool, then select the measure(s) you want, then right click and choose one-bar or two-bar repeat from the popup menu.

No, you are not alone.
Staff attributes will be used to apply certain notation parameters to the whole staff.
Staff styles (staff tool) can be applied more locally on a selected region. Select a region and apply a staff style.
There are keyboard shortcuts for several staff styles. One bar repeat is letter O, 2 bar repeat letter T, slashes letter S, blank notation letter B, rhythmic notation letter R...
