Working with Comments

You can make comments on your own document, or on documents that others share with you. This section describes how to add, edit, print, and manage comments in a document.

Adding a Comment

To add a comment, highlight the text you want to comment, then click on the bubble in the right margin.

New Comment Bubble

As you move your mouse over the icon, it expands and displays “Click to add a new comment here.”

New Comment box

Clicking in the new comment area opens a Comment box. Note that when your cursor is in a Comment box, the main document dims and a highlight appears on the text to which the comment applies.

Active Comment

Notice also that your comments are in a particular color. Each commenter is assigned a unique color. The color appears not only in the Comment box, but also as an underline indicating the text in the document to which the comment refers. In addition, each comment displays its author and the date and time it was created.

Comment Complete

Note: You can also add a comment via the Insert Menu, or via the Add Comment icon on the Comment Toolbar.
