To show the so-called balloons in Word 2003, do the following: On the Tools
menu, click Options. Click the Track Changes tab. Make sure that "Use
balloons (Print and Web Layout)" is *not* set to "Never."

I don't remember if Word 2003 allowed you to choose whether the balloons
should be on the left or right of the page, but if it did, that option
should also be on the Track Changes tab.

I have loaded a doc into Word 2003. Now I want to mark a certain word
and write a comment for the next reader/another user. The comment should
be placed on the left border in a
red background colored "Bubble" and point to the just marked word/text.

How do I insert such a "bubbled" comment?
