WORD

Commment Pane

The simpler, older days

By default, Word 2003 and Word 2002 do not include the Comment pane feature.
Instead, these versions of Word include the Reviewing pane.

The upper section is the Comment pane.

The lower section shows the Reviewing pane. More detail, but crowded.

However, you can run a macro to include the Comment pane feature in Word 2003 and in Word 2002. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Enter the following code using Tools>Macro>Visual Basic Editor:

Sub CommentPane()

If (ActiveDocument.Comments.Count > 0) Then

ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneComments

End If

End Sub

2. Open a Word document that contains comments.

3. Run the macro that you created in step 1 to display the Comment pane.
