As an educator who uses computers in the classroom, I have to say that the
older style of comments had a great use in the classroom. I could type a
document, and insert a comment on a particular word. The 'old style' was to
highlight it in yellow. When the student moved their mouse over the word,
the comment will appear. This was a great way to insert vocabulary terms to
unfamilar words.

While the new comments are OK, I would like the option to change it to the
old format, instead of underlining the word, and placing the comment to the
right side of the page. Thank you.
