By hand.  Usually suggestions for changes to prototypes come up in
some kind of review, whether it's a 1-1 or some kind of meeting.
Depending on the kind of change suggested either I jot a note directly
on a printout, or I write things down on some other paper.   Nothing
else is as fast and accurate for me.

Afterward I usually create some kind of write-up summarizing the
suggested changes - often just a simple bulleted list - and provide
that back to the other participants.  Usually that's just an email.
For myself I then tend to sketch on top of print-outs of the current
prototype, assuming it's a simple enough set of changes.  If the
changes need to be more complex then I create a new sketch with the
change ideas incorporated.

In some rare cases I am showing a prototype in the tool I've used to
create it (Dreamweaver or Photoshop) I may make an on-the-fly change
in order to show it to the other people and say "is that what you
mean?" But in almost every case the tool is both too slow and
distracts me from interacting with the person giving the suggestions.

I do use Word and if people are remotely commenting on a document I've
written I find Track Changes to be a pretty good tool for that.

Hope that helps,
--Alan
