How do I remove the date in Comments
I haven't worked with Help+Manual for over 20 years, but I always found it to be a great tool. However, I'm finding that for each Comment I add, the Comment's date is appended to the Comment, and for each graphic I add, the graphic's filename is appended to the top of my graphics.

Re: How do I remove the date in Comments
Hi Dave,
The data in comments is just shown for information while you're editing. It's edit-time information for you as the author only, you won't see any of it in your output. The graphics filename is only shown on mouseover in the editor, and its dimensions are shown if you've scaled it to remind you that you've scaled it (important information). In your output the filename is added to the ALT text if you don't add your own tooltip, since ALT text is now pretty much required. To change it just double-click on the graphic in Help+Manual and enter your own tooltip for the image. It should basically be descriptive for unsighted users.
