MicrosoftChanges made to the Word Review Comments have not been helpful to my writing team for manuscript editing. They are overly complex for individual editors to make their comments to the writer. And I haven't found an option to over-ride the new system.
We don't make our comments on the same document so we don't need the Send option. And as others have noted, it doesn't allow spellcheck. For line-by-line editing that is baffling.
Because we have purchased the monthly Microsoft package we get changes without notice--in the middle of time sensitive projects. ARGH! Getting everyone up to speed takes more time than developers realize. I'm glad Microsoft listens to many of their customers but us little old writers don't need all the bells and whistles--even doing everything by internet rather than face to face.
I'm sure you're tired of complainers, but could you give us the option of not accepting your improvements?
