Identifier in Comments
I have a document that contains comments. Unfortunately the document is
permanently displaying the identifier of each comment on the actual document ie. [g1], [g2] etc for comments made by myself. I have a similar document that also has comments but only displays the identifier when the reviewing pane is open. Is there somewhere that I can toggle off these identifiers being displayed? Thanks |

Hi ?B?R29ncw==?=,
Word 2003. I have a document that contains comments. Unfortunately the document is permanently displaying the identifier of each comment on the actual document ie. [g1], [g2] etc for comments made by myself. I have a similar document that also has comments but only displays the identifier when the reviewing pane is open. Is there somewhere that I can toggle off these identifiers being displayed? OK, I think I know what's happening. The document where you don't see the identifiers was probably created in an earlier version of Word? In earlier versions (pre-2002, I think), the style CommentReference was formatted as "hidden". In late versions, it's not. If you change the style definition, the identifiers should disappear.

Cindy
Could you explain what you mean by changing the 'Style Definition', please? It sounds like the answer to a problem I am having and have not been able to get an answer to!

See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html. The style you
want to modify is the Comment Reference character style, formatting it as Font: Hidden. -- Suzanne S.

Great! I now have found how to lose the identifier for the reviewer. Do you
know if it is possible to get the text you have 'commented' not to have brackets? Regards Gordon "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html.

No, and in fact I found that (a) when I tried this, Word switched on the
display of Hidden text even when I had other nonprinting characters hidden, and (b) although the comment identifier was hidden in the document itself, it was still displayed in the comment balloon. -- Suzanne S.
