How to document protected members, or members with overloads?

Using DocumentX 2008 with Visual Studio 2008, I can't seem to figure out how to do the following:

Write documentation for any protected member.
Save documentation for any member which has an overload.

I'm documenting a .NET component with inheritable classes, so documentation is needed for any protected member. Right now they are greyed out in the Code Explorer. For overloads, I can write documentation but the Save button is ghosted. It's frustrating to carefully write documentation only to find out the work is not able to be saved.

Are there project options I can modify to make this work? If not, I don't think I can use this tool after all.

You can include Protected Members in the Comment Editor tree by clicking the Include Protected toolbar button just above the tree.

There is a known issue with documenting overloads in the Visual Comment Editor - if you can drop an email to support@innovasys.com we will send you a hotfix. This issue will be included in the next Document! X update which is due in the next month or so.
