Annotating Data Flow Tasks

Question

Hello, all.

In Visio, when I create a flow chart, there is an annotation tool that I can drag onto the workspace in which I can place notes and the like for reference.

I'm wondering, is there any way to do the same for SSIS Data Flow tasks?

I don't want to use the name field of the task and make it some huge honking box. The description field in a task's properties is also not the best, as it only tells what a task does when the cursor hovers over it. It'd be nice if I could drag a tool onto the workspace to provide a reader with some notes as to what the particular task does at a glance.

Also, is there any way to print the Data Flow workspace screen? I can print the Control Flow screen, but I'd like to be able to print the Data Flow screen without using a screen shot. It would help with documenting a project.

Thanx!
