In fact, just tried it. Created a Master Page called "Notes and Comments". On the Master Page I inserted a text frame and defined it as background. Added some text to the text frame.
Came to the body page, added a page to the end of the chanpter, then defined it with the "Notes and Comments" master page. The comment text showed fine. Redefined it as Left/Right, the comment text went away. Redefined it as "Notes and Comments", comments came back, added more to the master page, went back to view, the additional text showed fine. Even sent the page to printer. Printed fine. What am I missing? --- John Posada <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hmm...hadn't thought of that.
