Basic Question about Comments

[Rhino]

My document contains a single page of labels. I want to put a comment on the
page to instruct the user how to use the document so I'm trying to figure
out where to put the comment so that it is not within one of the labels.

Ideally, I'd like the comment to be the first thing the user sees at the top
of the page when they open the document. Unfortunately, the labels occupy
the whole page and there doesn't seem to be anywhere that I can put the
cursor which is on the page but not in one of the labels.

I don't want to put the comment in a label because then if the user modifies
the design of a label and propagates the change to the other labels, the
comment also gets propagated, which makes is ugly and redundant. I thought
I'd put the comment in the header but the Insert Comment option isn't
available in the header.

How can I put a comment on my page, preferably at the top, without putting
it within a label?

Or is there a better way to accomplish the same goal?

If your comment is not too long, perhaps you could put it in the header as
simple text.

Or you could just sacrifice one or two labels at the top and put the comment
in plain text there. Your users would have the option of deleting that text
if they duplicate the label.

Not elegant.

You could put the comment in the Comments field of the File Properties, but
you'd have to tell the user to look there.
