size and typeface.
When you create comments, you can select, copy, cut, and paste text using the standard keyboard
shortcuts. Spell checking, text formatting, and text colors cannot be applied to comments.
Viewing and editing comments
When you open a document, you can view all comments attached to objects and markup objects.
Be sure that Show information tool tips is selected in the Functionality Options page in the
Configuration Center.
You can edit comments that you create, but not those made by others.
When you select an object that has one or more comments attached to it, the object displays yellow
selection handles. You can view comments by pointing to objects. When the pointer is on an object,
the object’s comments appear in a pop-up window.
