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?

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?

If you want or need the draft comments to be visible in FM,
consider adding them in anchored frames in the page margins,
so they won't affect the text flow. You can have such frames
available on your Reference pages that you copy and paste
whenever you need them. Regardless of how you enter them in FM,
consider simply using colored text, or a font that's clearly
different from the body text. In fact, if you use colored
conditional text for the draft comments, you can easily hide
and show them by using a single command.

If you *really* want text with a colored background, you could
create a table format that defaults to a single-cell table,
with no rulers (borders), but with a shading (background color).
That would give you a colored rectangle "behind" the text.
These tables can also be made conditional, just like body text.

Think about which requirements you have, and come back to us
if you need detailed help.
