Visio2005 beta should let me attach a reviewer comment to a shape

[jeff_a_james]

I'm using the new Visio 2005 beta. I like the Reviewer toolbar, especially
the comments. (Perhaps this existed in prior versions of Visio, but I am
just unaware of it.) However, it would be nice to be able to associate a
reviewer comment with a particular shape. That way, as the shape moved
around, I wouldn't have to manually make sure the comment moved with it.
I've been using this, and occasionally I find an "orphaned" comment in the
middle of my page. I have to re-determine which shape in the diagram the
comment pertained to.

just curious, are you using the reviewer tool for comments rather than the
"insert comment" function?

Yes, although they both seem to do the same thing.

the thing about comment is that it is in the shapesheet so it shouldn't get
lost.

Maybe it's a Visio2005 thing, but if I do a Select All on a page, it doesn't
grab the comments. If I use the Ink tool from the Reviewing toolbar, it
will grab the ink, though. Just not the comments.
