• If, however the document with comments comes from an application other than Nisus Writer
Pro, it will always display the Comments pane when you open the document.
When your document is opened by someone else your original comment appears in the color of
“Author #1” (which is set by the Appearance preferences of the user receiving the document) as
illustrated in Figure 370. In the situation below, Reuben Simons has sent his file to Rea D’ator.

Add your comments to the comments of others
As explained in the fictional situation described in “Additional controls for the display of comments”
on page 330, you might receive a document that has comments added by a colleague and want to
add your comments to those already present. In the following example, Rea D’ator has suggested a
possible alteration of the text.
1. Click the Plus (+) button in the lower right area of the comment to add your new comment.
2. Type your comment as illustrated in Figure 371.

When a new comment is added to an existing comment “back and forth” triangles and a number
indicating which comment is currently displayed out of the total appear in the title bar of the
comment.
Review comment histories
If more that one comment has been added to the same snippet of text a comment history has been
established. You can read all the previous comments that have been added by you and/or others to
any specific portion of text.
