Chapter 3: Objects And Attributes
To view, edit, and delete comments:
1. Choose Object | Options | Comments & Markup.
If you select a markup object, click the Display Palette button in the Properties bar to
open the Comments & Markup palette.
2. From the Author drop-down list, select one of the following:
An author’s name: Displays only that author’s comments in the list. The scrolling list
displays the first lines and the author’s initials for each comment. The initials preceding
comments are retrieved from the User Info in the Configuration Center.
All Authors: Displays comments by all authors.
3. Click a comment to select it.
When you select a comment, Canvas selects the commented object or markup object in the
document. Yellow selection handles appear around the object to indicate that the object has
one or more comments.
4. Do one of the following:
View: To view a selected comment, click View. The comment text appears in the View
Comments dialog box. Select text and copy it to the Clipboard using standard keyboard
shortcuts. You can edit your own comments in the View Comments dialog box, but you
can’t edit or remove others’ comments.
When you view a comment that you can’t edit, the dialog box appears grayed out.
If you changed a comment, click OK to save the changes or click Cancel to discard them
and close the dialog box.
If you select a markup object with an attached comment, you can view the
comments in the Properties bar. You can edit your own comments in the
Properties bar.
Remove: Select a comment you created. Click Remove to delete the comment from the
object and the Comments palette.
Comments remain attached to objects until you remove them. However, comments are not
preserved by operations that convert objects to different forms. These operations include
Knife, Combine, Extrude, Fractalize, Join, Make Composite, Convert to Paths, and Insert
Picture.
