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.
