Hi All,
I have saved a word document from Word 2003 in XML format. Then I went into
the document with notepad and added some XML comments with the !-- and --
tags. If I then bring the document up in Word, make a change and save it, the
comments I entered in XML are removed.
Is there a way to retain the comments I've entered?

Thanks,
Steve

I think you'd need to associate a custom schema with the document then insert
your comments into your own elements ("custom tags").
