## Comment(doc) {#documentbase}

Initializes a new instance of the [Comment](../) class.



```python
def __init__(self, doc: aspose.words.DocumentBase):
    ...
```

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| doc | [DocumentBase](../../documentbase/) | The owner document. |

### Remarks

When [Comment](../) is created, it belongs to the specified document, but is not
yet part of the document and [Node.parent_node](../../node/parent_node/) is ``None``.

To append [Comment](../) to the document use [CompositeNode.insert_after()](../../compositenode/insert_after/#node_node) or [CompositeNode.insert_before()](../../compositenode/insert_before/#node_node)
on the paragraph where you want the comment inserted.

After creating a comment, don't forget to set its [Comment.author](../author/),
[Comment.initial](../initial/) and [Comment.date_time](../date_time/) properties.
