Hi jrnatt

To achieve what you want, you'll have to buy Word 2002 or Word 2003.

The balloons, as they're called, were introduced in Word 2002. They didn't
exist when Word 2000 was made.

Hope this helps.

How do I reposition the comments text box from the bottom of my page to
the
side of my page in Word 2000? When I email the document with the comments
on
the bottom to a colleague, the comments appear on her screen on the left
hand
side of the document with lines from the individual comments to the
position
of the comment in the document. I would like to be able to do that on my
computer. Thank you.
