Your callout philosophy

[Nancy Allison]

I am working on a document that currently has both paragraph tags for 
callouts, and character tags.

I can create callouts either by:

--Creating a text box in the figure, entering text, and formatting it 
with a callout paragraph tag. I prefer this. Makes it easy to widen or 
narrow the callout text.

--Using the Text tool to enter text, and formatting it with a character 
tag. If the text needs to be expanded or edited, all repositioning of 
text must be done manually. A pain.

However, I could be missing something. How do you create your callouts, 
and why?

Thanks!
