  2. Select Insert|Comment from the menu bar.
    [Comment window]
  3. Type the text in the Comment box and click OK.
  4. Notice that the commented text begins with "Comment: " and is another color to differentiate it from regular text. Open the page in a browser to see that the commented text is not visible on the page.
