I'm using Office 2003 and am using Track Changes with COMMENTS.

When I sent a document to a colleague for review, he couldn't read the
COMMENTS. He told me he had an older version of Word. We discussed this and
couldn't find BALLOONS or COMMENTS on his toolbar.

How can he see my comments?

Thanks in advance.

Depending on the version he's using he may be encountering a minor bug
in displaying Comments. The solution someone found was to go to
View/Document Map and then turn the Document Map off again.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.

If Beth's solution doesn't work, I think older versions (Word 2000 and
before) just had a View | Comments, nothing on the toolbar. Or he needs to
bring up the Reviewing Toolbar (View | Toolbars |), which should have
everything that version needs/offers.

Older versions definitely offer comments, though not in balloons.
