RE: Frame Comment feature?

[Jennifer Randel <jennifer_randel -at- khsd -dot- k12 -dot- ca -dot- us>]

Hi Nancy,
I don't know if this will be of help to you, but I have created a conditional text tag for this purpose in FM 7.2. I set up the condition indicators so that text marked with this tag will appear underlined and in red.

I know. It's not the same as a callout, but it allows me to quickly look through a document and find my comments.

Hope this is helpful.
Jennifer

Subject: Frame Comment feature?


It may kill me to admit this, but . . . now that I'm back working in Framemaker, I miss some Word features.

Aaaugghh!

Ahem. Notably, the Comment feature in the little colored balloons, who could have predicted how much I would miss it when it was gone?

Oh yes, it would help to admit that I am working in Framemaker 7.1. It's not available in that version that I can see. Does anyone have a workaround (and please it's too late on a Friday after a long week for someone to reply "Go over to Word!")

Any suggestions? And, out of morbid curiosity, is it available in version 8? Does it work well? Can you print the comments separately, and so on and so forth? Oh! Now I'm just torturing myself!
