How to I notate pizzicatos in sibelius?

Hey dudes,
As some of you may know, Im giving sibelius a try with their demo version. Their entry method is pretty cool and easy to use, the only thing I find weird is putting articulations. Can anyone tell me how do I notate Pizzicato on sibelius. Sorry for the noob question, but I need to try this bad boy out, before I decide to stay with finale, or switch to sibelius.

Right click -> Text -> Technique -> pizz. (with or without the trailing period, and you can also use "pizzicato" in full). You'll need to use "arco" to tell your stringed instruments to go back to bowing, in case you didn't know that.

cool, Thanks mike. It took me a couple of tries but I got the hang of it.

Wow, sibelius is really easy to use. But I dont know if Im gonna buy it. I just got finale last year, and im still kinda learning how to do some things. so i dont think im gonna fork out the money for sibelius.
