If you run the following macro, it will insert the comments in line in the
text:

Dim acomment As Comment
For Each acomment In ActiveDocument.Comments
acomment.Reference.InsertAfter " [Comment: Inserted by " &
acomment.Author & " - " & acomment.Range.Text & "]"
Next acomment

You can then print the document as Final and the comment balloons will not
appear.

I have a similar but more complicated question: I'm preparing a
document with several sections, only one of which has or needs any
comment balloons. I need the comments in that section to print, but I
don't want the other sections in the document (the ones with no
comments) to print small to allow space for comments that don't exist
in those sections. The only solution I've found so far is separate
documents; is there a way to display and print the comment balloons
only in a single section of a document, while allowing the rest of the
document to display and print as if there were no comment balloons?

Make sure that in the Tracking section of the Review tab that you have
selected Final and not Final showing markup.

I can't seem to eliminate the shaded sidebar on the righthand side of
each
page. It prints out as a light gray area down the page. Would
appreciate
anyone's help with this. Thanks. r
