I am using Office XP Word 2003. I have edited a document and added comments.
I can view all the changes, but the comments print in balloons to the right and have a dotted line back to the left and all go to one central point. How can I find each comment and attribute it to the point in the text that it applies.... without hovering the mouse? If you do have to use the mouse and hover, how do you avoid missing a comment? |

One way is to set the Browse button (the little circle between the up and down double arrows at the bottom of the vertical scrollbar). Click that button and choose to browse by comments. The double arrows (or Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDown keys) then move the cursor to the previous or next comment location. Another way: If the Reviewing toolbar isn't already displayed, click View Toolbars Reviewing. At the far right end of the toolbar is a button that toggles the display of the Reviewing Pane at the bottom of the Word window. In that pane you'll find the text of all comments (and changes, if Track Changes was enabled). Click the heading of any comment in the pane to jump the cursor to the comment's location in the text. You can also use the Next and Previous buttons on the Reviewing toolbar. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Thanks for the info. i tried both, didnt work, i must not have something
turned on correctly. I do have the tracking on and I can see the comments. when I tried the browse function, clicking on either one of the double arrows took me nowhere. Tried the Reviewing pane. when I clicked on the comment heading, it took me back to the balloon which just shows a line from the right margin back to the left and all comment lines converge there.

Try turning off the balloons. On the Reviewing toolbar, click the Show
button, then click Balloons, and choose Never. (When you do want to see the balloons, use the same menu to turn them on again.) -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

I appreciate your help, but I tried that and it just throws me back into the
comment box and doesnt show me the text that the comment refers to. I am stuck! "Jay Freedman" wrote: Try turning off the balloons.

Is it possible that all of the comments were inserted in exactly the same
place? That's one of two explanations I can think of that would cause the behavior you're describing. The other explanation is document corruption. In the Reviewing toolbar, choose Show - Reviewing pane. This should list the comments -- by number -- in a separate pane. When you click on a comment in the pane, the location in the document should change to where the comment was inserted. Comments should be identified with your initials (e.g., GR) and a number, such as GR1, GR2, and so on. Do you see distinct numbers in your document? Make sure that the view is set to Final Showing Markup or Original Showing Markup. Otherwise the comment numbers will be hidden from view. Does that happen? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "G Reed" wrote in message ...
