Modern Comments are HORRIBLE
Linda_Silvernail Modern comments are worse than horrible. As a lawyer, putting an extra step in to post the comment is a pointless waste of time. plus if you accidentally leave one open you have to waste further time searching a complex legal document to find which one you left open. The old comment system worked perfectly fine, so why change it?
In Word for Windows, you should be able to turn off modern comments, for now. Clear the "Enable modern comments" option at File > Options > General and restart Word. (Microsoft has stated that this option is only temporarily available.)
As Charles pointed out, you should definitely send feedback to Microsoft and let them know that you do not like the modern comments.
If you are just venting, that is fine. Otherwise, look at my earlier post that tells you how to tell Microsoft how you feel about this. They do not see anything here, but do if sent through their feedback mechanisms, Be a squeaky wheel! (I am a fellow attorney.)
