      A.      Columns are on and the customer expands a Master Document with the order of codes as follows: (This applies to Subdocument and Spreadsheet links also.)
             [Col Def:...][Col On][Subdoc:...]
                  or
             [Col Def:...][Col On][Comment].
                  or
             [Col Def:...][Col On][Link:...]

3.      No graphics screen driver is selected (Shift-F1, 2, 2, 2).

4.      WP 5.1 is in extended text mode. In WP 5.0 the customer may be able to work around this by inserting a margin release code before the text to be in a comment, blocking the text, and converting it to a comment.

5.      The comment is in a table.
      FYI:
      As a workaround, the customer can insert a row in the table and set the row height to be 0.001" Multi-Line Fixed. Then, block the entire row and Join-7 it to be one cell. Remove the top line from the newly inserted row (3-Lines, 3-Top, 1-None). The user can now type in this cell the same as a regular cell, but when the table is printed it will not show this row and there will not be a break in the table.

Also, turning the Comment Display off and back on does not rewrite the comments to the document screen at any point in the document above the cursor. As a workaround pressing Home, Home, Up will rewrite the screen. Also, placing the cursor at the top of the document and turning Comment Display on will rewrite the comments to the screen properly.
