Hi,
I have a word doc which has had comments added by 2 different users. I
cannot use the standard Delete Comment button to remove the comments of 1 of
the users.
Does anyone have any ideas what is happening here? I think it is written in
Word 2000.

many thanks

Turn on Track Changes and accept all changes.

Is it possible that that user protected the document for tracked changes? If
you're using Word 2002/2003, does the Delete All Comments in Document
command (on the Reject Change/Delete Comment menu on the Reviewing toolbar)
not affect these comments?

I found this advice useful to get rid of all tracked changes and comments.
Create a new macro with this code:

Sub TC()
Dim oRev As Revision
Dim oCom As Comment
Dim i As Long
For Each oRev In ActiveDocument.Revisions
oRev.Accept
Next oRev
For i = ActiveDocument.Comments.Count To 1 Step -1
ActiveDocument.Comments(i).Delete
Next i

End Sub

After running the macro, you need to Accept All Changes in Document, which
will automatically get rid of any remaining comments you might see.
