Tips: Using comments in Microsoft Word
Need to have your work reviewed by others? What writer doesn't? Do they print out your document and make comments with a red pen? That is so old school.
Let's all turn the page to the 21st century and comment electronically. It's easy and more efficient for your writer to take all the comments at once and either accept, deny, or laugh at them.
It's easy for reviewers to add their comments to a Word document, especially in Word 2000, 2003, and 2007. Commenting is is available in most Microsoft Office programs, like PowerPoint and Excel.
- Simply select a word or block of text, click the Insert menu, and select Comment. A small bubble pops up on the right hand side (Page Layout view), where you enter your comment.
- Type in your comment. Notice that the comment box has your
initials automatically inserted, and is assigned a color. Simple formatting (bold,
italics) is available.
Note: Your initials are taken from Tools menu : Options : User Information. - When you're done, the comment window/bubble stays there.
Tip: Reviewers, be helpful to your writer and replace the default "user" name in the User Information dialog box.
