MicrosoftHi all. I am a little late to the... em... party (?) here. Word updated on my machine sometime last week, and it took me a few days to realize where the comments have gone. I'm comforted to see that I'm not the only one who doesn't like this change. I'm now worried that other collaborators are working with previous versions and are not seeing my comments, which is kicking my hubris intro overdrive.
However, I'm willing to entertain the notion that I'm doing it wrong. Can someone suggest how I'm supposed to efficiently use the added comment lane on a laptop? In some documents, I cannot make the text view small enough to simultaneously accommodate the third rail (intended) and read/edit the actual document. MS, what should my approach be here? On a wider display, it is an annoyance; on a laptop display this seems unworkable.
I'm not a fan of Word even in the best of times, but it seems like it might be a good time to implement different user profiles (n00b, power-user, editor, author, etc.) that allow easy access to different features. The UI is pretty out of control at this point, which is understandable for a product that has evolved over 40-ish years.
