I am new to Office 2003. I have discovered in Word, an automatic highlight
formats the text on which I select to comment. I know how to change the
default format for my comment bubbles (my textual comments); this is not the
problem. In the original Office XP, Word would simply surround the text upon
which a user comments with modifide bracket or parantheses. Now, Word puts in
the brackets AND adds a highlight. This highlight interferes with other
highlights I have already put into the document. I would like to remove the
highlight, but cannot manage to do so. Is there a hidden option somewhere?
Please advise.

Just goes to show that you can't please everybody. In Word 2002, commented
text was bracketed and not highlighted, and users complained vociferously
because the comments were not obvious enough; they were used to having
yellow highlighting on commented text.
