don't have it.
(2) Unzip the Comment Report to get a ".USR" file, which will open in
Commentary.
(3) Read the comments in Commentary. When you want to respond to a
comment, check the "Marked" box at the top of that record. Then fill
out the following fields:
Recommendation by:
Recommendation:

Reason for Recommendation:
You are justified in recommending rejection on grounds of
incompleteness or lack of a specific change request.

you checked the "Marked" box. Only the found records will be exported
in Step (5). Don't include records on which you have no reply comment.
(5) Under Scripts, choose "Export Clause Editor's Proposals". Choose
the file type "FileMaker Pro Runtime Files". Enter a file name of the

>I also spent a lot of time trying to assign page numbers to comments

>causes. However, without page numbers, the comments don't sort
>correctly, which delays the comment resolution process. Besides, the

>page you are talking about. I request that all balloters please be
>considerate of the rest of the WG, remembering that we are not
>dealing with your comments alone.

>Please begin preparing Reply Comments. The deadline is 11 November AOE.
