Issue with Track Changes and Comment Bubbles in Microsoft Word
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone can help me with an issue I’ve been having in Microsoft Word 2019. I’m working on a collaborative document, and we’re using the Track Changes and Comments features extensively. Recently, I’ve encountered a problem that’s driving me a bit crazy.
Here’s what’s happening:
Whenever I add a comment, the comment bubble appears, but sometimes the text within the bubble gets cut off or doesn’t display properly. It’s as if the bubble is too small for the text, and resizing it doesn’t help. This makes it really hard to read and review comments.
Additionally, when I’m tracking changes, some of the edits don’t show up in the margin as they should. Instead, they appear inline with the text, which is confusing and makes the document hard to follow.
I’ve tried:
- Restarting Word and my computer
- Repairing the Office installation
- Checking for updates
- Resetting the comment and track changes settings to default
None of these solutions have worked so far. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or have any suggestions on how to fix this? It’s becoming a major obstacle in our collaboration process.

Word may "collapse" the comment balloons if the text doesn't fit. Is that what you are referring to? You could upload a screen shot and show us exactly what you see.

Your question doesn't seem to be about Microsoft Word. I recommend that you repost your question in the Windows forum, perhaps in the Windows 11 category at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-11/bd-p/Windows11.
