Viewing and editing comments You use the Comments palette to view, edit, and delete comments. 1 Choose Object > Options > Comments to display the Comments palette. All comments attached to objects in a document appear in the Comments palette. 2 Select an author’s name in the pop-up menu to display only that author’s comments in the list. To show all comments, choose All Reviewers. The scrolling list displays the first lines and the author’s initials for each comment. The initials preceding comments are from the user name entered during Canvas installation. You can edit the initials on the User Info tab in the Preferences dialog box. 3 Click a comment to select it. When you select a comment, Can- vas selects the commented object in the document. Yellow (Win- dows) or gray (Mac) selection handles appear around the object to indicate that the object has one or more comments. 4 To view, edit, or remove a selected comment, choose one of the following options: View To view a selected comment, click View. The comment text appears in the View Comments dialog box. You can 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 comments made by others. The pencil icon at the bottom-left corner of the dialog box indicates that you can edit a comment. When you view a comment that you can’t edit, a slash appears on the pencil icon. When you finish viewing a comment, click OK or Cancel to close the dialog box. If you have made changes to a comment, click OK to save the changes or click Cancel to discard them and close the dialog box. 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 the com- ments. However, comments are not preserved by operations that con- vert objects to different forms. These operations include Knife, Combine, Extrude, Fractalize, Join, Make Composite, Convert to Paths, and Insert Picture.
