Default Word Comment Box

Way back when.........I used to be able to add a comment box to a
document (in the older version, can't remember which version). The
comment box would not show up in the document unless you moved your
mouse over a certain area in the document.

In Word 2003, I am unable to do the same type of idea. In Word 2003,
I have to add a comment box/balloon, however, when I do that it shows
up in the actual document and displaces the text within the document
(sending the document to 2 pages).

Does anyone know if you can do it the old way in Word 2003?


Try the method I described in
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...1c6f903e?hl=en
for using the tooltip of an otherwise empty AutoTextList field.
