Unable to delete comments
Hi,
I have a word doc which has had comments added by 2 different users. I cannot use the standard Delete Comment button to remove the comments of 1 of the users. Does anyone have any ideas what is happening here? I think it is written in Word 2000. many thanks -- mdd |

Turn on Track Changes and accept all changes.

Is it possible that that user protected the document for tracked changes? If
you're using Word 2002/2003, does the Delete All Comments in Document command (on the Reject Change/Delete Comment menu on the Reviewing toolbar) not affect these comments? -- Suzanne S.

I found this advice useful to get rid of all tracked changes and comments.
Create a new macro with this code: Sub TC() Dim oRev As Revision Dim oCom As Comment Dim i As Long For Each oRev In ActiveDocument.Revisions oRev.Accept Next oRev For i = ActiveDocument.Comments.Count To 1 Step -1 ActiveDocument.Comments(i).Delete Next i End Sub After running the macro, you need to Accept All Changes in Document, which will automatically get rid of any remaining comments you might see.
