My comments in Word Online are not showing like I want
Hi, can anyone help me, please? So these are two documents that I created with Word 365 (offline), both around the same time. Now, I added some comments and shared it with others via Onedrive...
I have a similar problem, and it showed up just a day or two ago and is affecting even documents I created in the past. Working with this new format of comments is inefficient and frustrating. I hope someone here knows how to return to showing comments in balloons.
If you are using the locally installed version of Word, make sure that your document is displayed in Print Layout view (on the View tab, click Print Layout). Also make sure that you have selected the "All Markup" view on the Display for Review drop down on the Review tab. See screen shot.
- If you have already selected these options and you are still not seeing what you want, you may have received a recent update for Microsoft 365 subscription which changes the look of comments.
