I love the comments feature in Nisus, but it seems there is no way to print comments in the margins the way Word does?

Also, when I open the document in Open Office the comments are not preserved?

Unfortunately there isn't any way to have comments printed alongside your document. The best you can do is to copy all the comments and paste them into a separate document for printing. Copying all the comments at once (by choosing Select All twice in the comments pane) will also copy the meta-data like author name.

Also, when I open the document in Open Office the comments are not preserved?

This is a deficiency in Open Office's RTF import- it won't read comments from any RTF files. If you export your document from NWP as Open Office XML or binary ".doc" then comments will be imported into Open Office properly.

Maybe this trick can be of some use:

1) Press Cmd-Ctrl-Shift-4, and drag the mouse around the comment on the side.

2) Move the text cursor at the beginning or end of the paragraph the comment was related to.

3) Paste the clipboard content (the comment's snapshot) and set the picture to move with the paragraph, left or right-aligned.

Also, comments can be copied as text, and pasted after the referring paragraph of as footnotes. When copied, they preserve the name of the author, the date/time, and metadata are highlighted.
