Adding Comments to a Drawing

Draw supports comments similar to those in Writer and Calc.

Choose Insert → Comment from the menu bar. A small box containing your initials appears in the upper left-hand corner of the Draw page, with a larger text box beside it. Draw has automatically added your name and the date at the bottom of this text box.

Type or paste your comment into the text box. You can optionally apply some basic formatting to parts of the text by selecting it, right-clicking, and choosing from the pop-up menu. From this menu, you can also delete the current comment, all the comments from the same author, or all the comments in the document.

You can move the small comment markers to anywhere you wish on the page. Typically, you might place it on or near an object you refer to in the comment.

To show or hide the comment markers, choose View → Comments.

Choose Tools → Options → User Data to enter the name you want to appear in the Author field of the comment.

If more than one person edits the document, each author is automatically allocated a different background color.
