Using Comments

You can attach comments to a word or a block of text within a Word document. Attaching comments is a good way to explain edits or important notes for the writer of a document. Once a comment is attached to a document, you can read or delete the comment at any time.

To attach comments:

1. Click-and-drag across a word of body of text to which the comment applies.
2. Select Insert > Comment from the menu bar.
   The Comments window appears at the bottom of the Word interface.
3. Enter your comment in the Comments window.
4. Click Close.

   A number appears at the end of the highlighted text displaying your initials. As you add more comments, the numbers follow the order in which the comments appear in the document.

To view comments:

You can view a comment by positioning your cursor over the highlighted text to which the comment belongs or the comment number itself. After a few seconds, the comment appears in a popup window. When you move your cursor again, the comment vanishes.

You can also double click on the comment to bring up the Comment window.

To delete comments:

1. Position your cursor over the highlighted text to which the comment belongs.
2. Right-click and select Delete Comment from the popup menu that appears.
