Hello,
Thank you for sharing this information with us! Unfortunately, I'm an editor and this new version of comments has really slowed down my work. I'm hoping it's just a lack of familiarity on my part. To that end, I have a few questions I'm hoping someone can help me with:
Q: The new version of Word comments doesn't recognize common characters used in Word documents, such as the long hyphen (em dash). How do I enable comments to recognize and allow these keystrokes?
Q: The new version of Word comments doesn't allow me to press enter to post a comment. How do I go back to the quicker "Enter to post" sequence? (This is the same sequence enabled me to skip down lines by pressing "Enter" and "Shift.")
Q: The new version of Word forces me to pull up a separate window to format words into links. It's cumbersome and takes longer. Is there a way to go back to the old version?
Q: The new version of Word makes it more difficult to attach a new comment to word(s) where a comment already exists. Is there a way around this? I often have to make more than one comment in the same place.
I don't mind updates. I understand they are necessary and know there's a learning curve, but these new attributes related to comments have really slowed down my work! Help!
