Quirk in comment editing?
We've noticed a strange behavior when editing a comment (Word 2003) in
the comment pane (that is, with balloons turned off). If you select text within the comment and then start typing, the selected text ISN'T replaced by the characters you type. It's as if the "Typing Replaces Selection" checkbox (in Tools* Options* Edit) is disabled for comments, unless you're using the balloons. Happens on all of our machines. Doesn't seem to matter if tracking is on or off, and never happens if we use balloons. Is this by design? Is there another way? (We unanimously loathe the balloons....)

I believe this annoyance has been noted by other users. Another quirk is
that you don't get AutoComplete suggestions, although you can insert AutoText using F3. -- Suzanne S.
