TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Nancy,
Have you tried creating a pdf in Acrobat 8? Acrobat 8 has an awesome
commenting tool (baloons and all). And, you can print comments on
separate pages. It is a great tool when needing to have other writers
comment on the writing. You can combine the pdfs(with comments) and then
print one document, instead of having to go through X number of pdfs
with comments.

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!
