Comment feature in Word 2002 & 2003
I do not like the way Microsoft has changed the Comment Feature in Word XP
and 2003. The layout and functionality in the Word 2000 was just great with the split screen review at the bottom and the ability to record with a microphone. The new setup destroys a documents print layout unless you modify how comments are printed and I haven't found how to voice input my comments. At least make the old method an option for us. |

Hi ?B?UmljayBDYXNleQ==?=,
I haven't found how to voice input my comments. Search the Help on "Record a comment", then choose the item on inserting comments. Excerpt: "Insert a voice comment If your computer has a sound card and a microphone, you can record voice comments. Voice comments are added as sound objects inside comment balloons. On the Reviewing toolbar, click Insert Voice . Record the voice comment. If Microsoft Word displays a message asking whether you want to update the sound object, click Yes. For information about recording and editing a sound object, see the documentation for your sound card and microphone" The layout and functionality in the Word 2000 was just great with the split screen review at the bottom In order to use the old comments interface, put the following line in a macro and run it: WordBasic.insertannotation Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |

Comment feature in Word 2002 & 2003
Even at this late date, I cannot suppress my dislike and frustration over yet
another poor design choice and worse implementation. First, I agree that the layout is lame. Combining the comments with the rev marks is fundamentally wrong-footed. MS products should do what I ask, not what it thinks I want. It's simply a confusing result. Worse, it just doesn't work well. Sometimes the document and the comment window are in sync, sometimes not. The whole feature is just unusable. As a result, I actually go to my old Windows98/Office 2000 computer to do rev tracking and comments; Word 2003 is just that bad.
