"Comments From" window: I lost it!!
I managed, by accident, to display a change review window that was titled
"Comments From", with a drop-down box to select either All Reviewers, or someone specific. The information displayed was all of the comments, without the extra garbarge (author, time, etc.), which was exactly what I needed. But it disappeared and I have no idea how to get it back. I have a screenshot of it (I can send it to someone if they can help), but that is all. Thanks!! |

It sounds like you're describing the Reviewing Pane. There's a toggle button
for that on the Reviewing toolbar. -- Suzanne S.

It's related to the Reviewing Pane, but it is not that simple, and I have yet
to be able to reproduce it. (I wish I could show some screen shots.) Normally when I display the Reviewing Pane, it says "Main Document changes and comments", followed by a colored bar which details the user & date, then another line which displays the comment, then the next colored bar, etc. The problem with this display is it will not let you copy & paste all of the comments at once, only one at a time. (That is the crux of what I need to do; create a list of all of the comments themselves.) When I got into "Comments From:" mode, it displayed just the comments, without the colored headers; and I was able to copy & paste all of them at once. |

Still doesn't work, but...
I have found some reference material from some college courses, that mention the Comment pane and the "Comments From" drop-down menu, from which you can select the desired author. But these particular settings don't help. "Display the comment marks by going to the Tools menu, Options, and then the View tab. Under the "Formatting marks" section, tick the Hidden text box. Click the name of the reviewer in the Comments From box at the top of the comment pane." See also: http://training.cssd.pitt.edu/downlo...ackChanges.doc Section "A. Insert a Comment" has a picture of what the window looks like. |

Ah! The screen shot does help indeed! I was starting to think the Comments
pane was a third party add-in but now that I see what you are referring to the Comments pane from versions of Word prior to Word 2002. (Since you described the Reviewing Pane I figured you are using Word 2002 or higher and wasn't thinking about past versions.) I'm not sure if you can still find Comments under the View menu after Word 2002. It *might* be an available command for your toolbars (Tools/Customize) but I currently have Word 2007 and I don't see it there. (Which doesn't mean much when it comes to checking on things for previous versions.) BUT, this code still works for Word 2007 so if you (or someone else) can't find the command to add to your menu/toolbar then a macro can be created for this purpose so you should be able to get it back one way or another. :-) ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneComments If you need help on using the above code then post back with the version of Word you are using and we can provide the instructions.

Thank you Beth, that works great!
I happen to have 2003 SP2, by the way, so that explains why it was so hard to find, except by accident. |

You're welcome. :-)
For future reference, did you find the command in Tools/Customize or did you use the code I provided? If it was the command, what is the exact name of the command?
