In Word 2003, how to print comments (not as balloons)
In the "Help" section of Word 2003 it says to go to "print view" and to print
the "document showing markup". However, tracked changes print, but no comments. When I go to the "show" button and "balloons" and check off "only for comments/formatting" then comments will show on-screen as balloons and they will also print as balloons. I would like to print them at the end of the document with comment numbers, is there a way? |

Use File/Print and under "Print what" select "List of markup"

Beth, Thanks for your reply. This may print the comments but unfortunately it
also prints all changes to the document including formatting changes. When I started printing it I stopped after 14 pages and every word inserted, deleted, etc. is listed. May be helpful for other things but I was looking to either just print the comments or print the document (with tracked changes) including the comments at the end of the document (as was possible in previous Word version).

Try turning off the display of Insertions and Deletions under the Show
drop down. Note this is different from the Balloon options you tried previously. -- Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

If you want to print the comments in-line with the text, run the following
macro which will insert the text of the comment inside square brackets and format it as italic to help make it stand out. Dim acomment As Comment, comrange As Range For Each acomment In ActiveDocument.Comments Set comrange = acomment.Reference comrange.InsertBefore " [" & acomment.Range & "] " comrange.Font.Italic = True Next acomment -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Hi, I was having the same problem. Now I've managed to print out my comments
at the end of the doc instead of balloons at the side, but now there are no reference marks in the text that link up to the comments. I usually see a red 'matchstick' at the insertion point on the screen, but this was missing from the print out.
