Comments showing as track change
Hi there, I hope someone can help with this. I apologise if this is something that has been discussed before, I have attempted to google the problem and not found any results so far to exactly match ...
Is this Word for Windows? You can display all comments in the new Comments pane. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/using-modern-comments-in-word-edc6ae71-0a2d-49fe-8faa-986f1e48136a.
Also, all comments should display in the print preview (and print) at File > Print.
There is no simple option to revert to the older interface, unfortunately (you can revert to an older release but that will just be a temporary fix).
Make sure that you post feedback on the new comments design; for information, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-do-i-give-feedback-on-microsoft-office-2b102d44-b43f-4dd2-9ff4-23cf144cfb11.
Hi Stefan,
Thanks very much for getting back to me on this one. Yes, this is Word for Windows. I know you can now see comments in the new comments pane, I was just hoping I could still see them as part of track changes like they used to show. It just feels like they have added extra steps to a process that worked perfectly well before.
Unfortunately we don't print out our documents before they go to the client for first review, otherwise that would be a useful way of ensuring any comments aren't missed.
I have most definitely given Microsoft feedback on the new comments design!
I think I am just going to have to get used to putting extra steps in my process of checking a document, unless Microsoft change anything.
Thanks for the advice!
Andy
