Hello KmaTK675 ,
There is a workaround for this, albeit a clumsy one. You need something to anchor the comment to. That can be a space. You need to put that space within the | | of the comment.
Example:
A "word" has a comment attached to it. You delete "word" (anchor), the comment goes too.
Put a space anywhere within the text: "wo rd". Delete the "wo" and delete the "rd", leave the space. That's your new anchor for your comment. With or without trackchanges, or after accepting changes, the comments stays anchored to that space. Once you delete the space, of course, the comment gets deleted, too.
Hope this helps.
