I have a complex document with many different pages and many conditions and a few PlanetPress Talk code in it.

Since I am not the only person who can have to work on the design of this document, I searched for way to add some comments about how the document is designed (what condition goes with what page; is there any special thing to consider when working on the document; on wich printer this particular document will print; etc...). I know I can add some comments in PlanetPress Talk. But what I need is a way to add more general comments, not only comments about what some code do...

Here is what I did to add comments in the document:

First, I created a condition that I called "ConditionAlwaysFalse". As the name implies, this condition will always be false. How ? Simply by writing "= false" in the "advance condition" type.

Then, I created a new page that I named "Comments - do not print" and I attached my "ConditionAlwaysFalse" condition to it. Since the condition will always be false, that page will never print.

Finaly, I added one big text box to the page and I wrote any comments I need in it. If necessary, I can add any pages I need, as long as I put the condition to it so they won't print.

Now, if someone else has to work on the document, all he/she has to do is to read the comment page.

I hope this simple tip will help others !

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.
Besides adding comments within planetpress talk, there are no built in object that you can add comments to.
I will place a request with my product manager and he will analyze the need.

Thanks
