Awesome post, CW

Honestly, after a lot of painful interim fixes, this was the first solution that satisfied me (I tend to be a little picky about these things) and made sense to the non-designer editors on my team. It really has helped our workflow tremendously.

And cuz they're anchored, if the text moves, the comments move with 'em. Unless you've already bought into InCopy (which is great insofar as it goes), give this technique a try.

Wait a sec, it occurs to me we're sharing trade secrets . . .

(Oh, and by all means, if you have a simpler approach, let us know. Cuz we're not above pilfering. ;-)
