N.b. Text that the Highlight, Strikeout and Underline Tools have been used to annotate is not included in comment summaries by default. Add text to the pop-up note of these annotations in order to include them in the comment summary. (This is true for all comments that feature pop-up notes). There is an option in the Commenting Preferences that automatically adds annotated text to the associated pop-up note of annotations.
