I'm using NWP v1.4 on MacosX 10.6.2.
I don't know this is bug or distinctive problem only on my environment, but the comment positions attached to the text were broken by exporting to Microsoft word format (binary).
The exported file result in that the comment positions are changed to indicating no areas showed in NWP v1.4 , maybe start position is lost, when the file opened by Word 04.
And, if the exported file is read by NWP v1.4, different problem is present that only one word is indicating for the comment indicating area.

Does anyone know the solutions on this problem?

The problem is that our binary ".doc" importer/exporter does not support applying comments to a range of text. In other words, our importer/exporter treats comments as special inline characters that can only appear in one place in the document. So when you export/import binary ".doc" files the area where each comment is attached may shrink. I'm sorry, but there's no way around this.

Saving as a regular ".doc" or RTF does not have this problem, so I would use those file formats if you can.

Thank you for your reply, martin!
I see what you meant.
My problem is moving files with comment from NWP to Pages.
Pages can not read the comments in the RTF file or .doc file from NWP.
Now, I avoid this problem by inserting exchange the RTF file by word 04 to export .doc file, which is maybe binary.
Just, I'd like not to use word 04.

I'm hoping near future, NWP support to export correct .doc(binary) file or native .docx file, it will be more helpful for me.
I appreciate for your effort to develop application and communicate with me.
