Not quite sure what you are asking. Do you mean use the track changes
features? If so then right-click a toolbar and turn on the Reviewing toolbar. There you'll find the ability to turn on "Track Changes", insert/delete Comments, etc. -- Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Are you asking how to do this, or are you having a problem doing it? Please
specify what you are trying and what result you are getting (if not the expected one). For reference: 1. To insert a comment, use Insert | Comment. 2. To delete text, select it and press Backspace or Delete. 3. To delete a comment, select it and click on Delete Comment on the Reviewing toolbar or right-click on it and choose Delete Comment. 4. The feature that allows you to keep a record of insertions and deletions (and with which comments are often associated) is Track Changes (on the Tools menu). -- Suzanne S.

Hi,
My college professors use the comment faeture all the time. I know that when you put the I bar in a place, you get the word "comment" and you fill in what you want to say. However, they have also used the word "deleted", "addtion" and other words in the box. I have tried to change the word in the the box but nothing seems to help. Thanks for your assiatance, anything you can do to help is appreciated. thanks |

As stated before, to insert a comment, you must use Insert | Comment. To
show additions and deletions in balloons, you must (a) be using Word 2002 or 2003 and (b) have Track Changes enabled. -- Suzanne S.

Turn on the Reviewing toolbar as I suggested in my previous reply and
locate the "Track Changes" command. Once you turn that on then your deletions/additions will automatically be identified. -- Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
