image properties/summary/comments

Using Photodraw 2000, when I open a graphic, click
on 'file' then 'properties' and choose the 'summary' tab,
when I type text into the 'comments' portion, close the
file and then 'save', the text does not appear the next
time I go to that graphic's properties.

Is the text saved anywhere that I'd be able to retreive it?

What am I doing wrong that it's not saved in the
properties of the file?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Danny,

What file format are you saving in? The MS .MIX format
can store property information. It's not supported in
other formats such as PNG, JPG or GIF when you export
to those formats from Photodraw. You can add comments
to some file formats, such as JPG using http://www.irfanview.com
among others.
