LibreOffice 3.4.4 (Writer) - make comment refer to selected text rather than cursor point

Hi :slight_smile:
I am never quite sure what people mean by "comments" as the term seems to be used  differently in different places.

Can you select an area of text and then
Format - Character
and then use one of those tabs to add something like alternate text or something?  I think i am going completely the wrong direction for what is required.
Apols and regards from

Just a personal thought that at least would appear to do what is
wanted: apply a highlight color to the selected text. Then click in the
middle of the selected text and add the comment.
