In review:

• At any time, clicking “Comments” opens a new “comment” editing window in Firefox

• Returning to FAWeb7’s main window while a “comment” window is open makes FAWeb7 seem unresponsive

• Clicking “Comments” while a comment window is already open will open another comment window, overwriting the contents of the original comment window

• Clicking the appropriate comment window will allow you to paste your comment or edit your existing comments.

Best Practices• When going between Word and FAWeb7 make sure you

always return to the comment window if you’ve opened a comment.

• If FAWeb7 seems unresponsive check to make sure it’s not expecting you to be using an open comment window instead

• Never open more than one comment window at a time, doing so will hide your previous comment window and a new, blank comment window will appear (i.e. the work appears “lost”)

• If you “lose” your comment, check the taskbar to make sure you’ve not opened an additional blank comment window
