How to insert a comment into a Publisher document

How do I leave a note in a APUb document? I'd like to comment some Words. I haven't found a function for annotations.

Assuming you have View > View Mode > Clip to Canvas turned off, you could put a Text Frame or Artistic Text off the page, to the right or left, and make your comments there.

Okay, thanks, the "pasteboard method" I had figured out, already. It is not what I was looking for.

What do you need that this method doesn't accomplish?

Well, I wanted to annotate some Words for my editor. As we keep doing in Word.

So why not create an off-page text frame, write your comment, and Pin it to the word as a floating frame. That's basically what happens in Word, isn't it? You mark the word and write a comment outside the page boundaries.

No, that is not at all what happens in Word. In Word and any other program I know of the comment function is a distinct "working area" that you can show, hide, comment again, extract, resolve etc., it is a lot more than just "a text attached to a word". A comment function is very high up on my wishlist for Publisher.

Think Santa is on Lockdown this christmas

Microsoft - Like entering your home and opening the stainless steel kitchen door, with a Popup: 'Do you really want to open this door'? Then looking for the dishwasher and finding it stored in the living room where you have to download a water supply from the app store, then you have to buy microsoft compliant soap, remove the carpet only to be told that it is glued to the floor.. Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed.

Apple - Like entering your home and opening the oak framed Kitchen door and finding the dishwasher right in front you ready to be switched on, soap supplied, and water that comes through a water softener.  Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door.
