Re:Comments in Writer?

there is, in fact, such a function. Place the cursor at any point in the document then, under the "Insert" menu, select "Note" a dialog box will appear where you can type in your "comment". a small yellow box will be placed on your document which you can hover on with your mouse to get a pop-up tipbox of the comment; or double click to edit the comment. admittedly, though, it is not as aesthetic as the right-margin "comments" on word. for example, the small yellow box cannot be resized which can sometimes be annoying when one is scrolling through a document looking precisely for comments.
