It does not appear that you ever got your final answer. You can do this with a graphical or non-graphical form. The way it is done is different for each.
Non graphical - when you click the 'form' button when the beginning print dialog is started, it will put you into the editor for the form. You can make your changes here. Be careful, don't change too much at one time you may get unexpected results and mess up a good form, until you can re-do it.
Graphical uses Crystal Reports, and if you click 'form' and the machine you are on has the FULL version of Crystal Reports installed, it will let you edit it. This editor is complex, but easier to use because you can see what the form looks like as you edit it (WYSIWYG). If you do not have graphical forms set up in the module set-up then it reverts to the non-graphical forms. If you are a solid user, I suggest using the Crystal Reports, once you use it a little (practice on some forms that come as examples) then it is much, much easier to produce the results you want.
Adding a comment (plain text - not a field) to a Crystal reports form is very easy.
