Comments randomly disappear and reappear in Reviewing Pane in Word 2003
With Office 2003 SP1, I frequently experience a problem in Word in
which comments whose reference marks appear in the main body of a document suddenly disappear from the open reviewing pane. There are two parts to this problem. Part 1 Assume the reviewing pane is open and the markers for comments 21 through 28 are visible in the main body pane. Clicking between comments 23 and 24 and adding a new comment opens a new, blank comment 24 in the reviewing pane. As I enter the text for this comment, the entire comment is suddenly removed form the display and the reviewing pane now shows comment 23 followed by comment 25 (the original comment 24). Meanwhile, in the main body pane the marker for the new comment 24 remains. Mousing around the two panes, and closing and opening the reviewing pane can sometimes result in the display of the new comment, but only temporarily. Before I can select it, it vanishes again. The new comment 24 does exist, and its text can be viewed by hovering the mouse over its marker in the main body pane, but it cannot be accessed for editing in the reviewing pane. I have discovered that I can sometimes regain the ability to view and edit the comment by expanding the window to full screen. Once I bring the application back to less than full screen I am subject to the problem recurring. It should be noted that the only comments that seem to experience the problems are ones that are being newly added during this instantiation of Word. Comments added during a previous session are not effected. Part 2 There are also cases in which the new blank comment remains displayed, but as text is being entered, some portion of it vanishes into thin air, never to be seen again. If anyone has any insights into the source and, more importantly, the fix for this problem I would be deeply grateful. |
