Adding note comments
A note comment is the most frequently used comment. You can use the Note tool to add
notes on any page in the document, and you can position them anywhere on the page.
When you add a note comment, a note icon and a pop-up window appear. You can add
bold, italics, and other attributes to text in a pop-up window, similar to formatting text in a
word-processing application. If you enter more text than is visible in the pop-up window,
the text scrolls. You can also resize the window, if desired, or change the icon and color
by editing the note properties.
