>You do realize that by including a comment to a reviewer as a text paragraph in the normal text flow you'll probably change the page breaks and the page count of the document?<< �� I do the same thing pratibha apparently does: Embed editorial questions and comments in the document as I edit. In my working situation, the contents are rarely stable (or even complete) in early drafts, so the effect of my comments on pagination and layout is unimportant. The hope is that by the time you're ready to finalize the layout, all the comments will have been resolved (hey, I can dream, can't I? <g>). I can see where it would be more of a concern if you were working with a document in something close to its final form. In that case, one option would be to make the comments conditional. That way you could easily highlight them to ther reviewers' attention, and you could hide them to see the correct layout. >Have you considered distributing your draft as a PDF document and use the features of Acrobat to include notes, both for you and for the reviewers?<< �� Yah, I do this too... but I usually find it easier to capture my questions/comments while I edit, rather than trying to remember them later, after I've made the PDF file. YMMV, of course. 8^) -Bill
