I teach a class on using Track Changes. I strongly urge participants to use
the comment feature rather than highlighting text then inserting bracketed
comments. I tell them that when they highlight text and use the comment icon,
that text is conveniently highlighted in the same color as Word assigned for
their insertions and deletions (everyone is set to "by author"). I sometimes
get the question "Then what is the separate highlighting tool doing on the
Reviewing Toolbar." I lamely suggest that an occasion could arise in which a
reviewer wanted to highlight text but not comment on it (!). In fact, I don't
know why Gates & Co put that tool on the Reviewing Toolbar --- does anyone?
