The fictional “Business Letter” that Reuben Simons wrote on behalf of William Schraeder,
illustrated in Figure 359 on page 327 shows the comments Reuben Simons added to the
document before sharing it with his colleagues. When it finally returned to him, his co-
workers: Mahz Kirah, Minna Hale and Rea D’ator had all added their comments. Their names
appear below All Authors in the pop-up menu labeled Show comments made by at the top of
the Comments Options dialog illustrated in Figure 361 and (the pop-up menu) Figure 362.
Figure 364 on page 333 shows the comments of Minna Hale highlighted in text without the
Comments pane displayed followed by the Comments pane open in Figure 365 on page 334.
Figure 366 on page 335 shows the comments of Mahz Kirah with both text and a graphic
when Minna Hale worked on the document.
