Sometimes you want to make a note in a document of something that you need to remember or check, or something that you want someone else to look at. Rather than adding a mention of the issue in the text of the document you can add it using a special feature called Comments. To add a comment to a document, first of all, you'll click where you want the comment to appear and then from the Reviewing Tab select New Comment. This opens up a small Comment Balloon in the Markup Area and you can type your comment into this balloon. Let's add another Comment. I want one here. I have a question about this particular statement; and one more Comment. As you can see, Comments make it easy for you to remind yourself or someone else to do something, or for you to pose a question or make a statement, but without adding text inside the document itself so the document still reads clearly but the comments are easy to see. You don't have to have comments appearing in the Markup Area here. You can show them inline in the document. To do this I'll choose Show Markup and then from the Balloons option I'll choose Show All Revisions Inline. This shows the Comments Inline in a document so that the words that the comments are attached to are highlighted and the comments appear as initials in brackets and a number after that particular highlighting. If I hold my mouse over the highlighted comment I can read what the contents of the comment are. Like Track Changes, you can move through Comments in a document by selecting the Next Comment and Previous Comment buttons here. I'm going to choose Previous Comment and when I do this a Task Pane opens because I'm seeing the comments inline in a document and now I can move through the comments - Previous Comment and then Next Comment, Next Comment, to move forward or backward through the comments in the document and I can read the comments in the Task Pane and see which particular comment is highlighted in the document. Now I see the Task Pane here only because I'm seeing Comments Inline in the Document. Let's close the Task Pane and let's change the way we're seeing Comments back to what it was when I first opened the document. Show Markup, Balloons and this time I'm going to Show Only Comments and Formatting in Balloons. Now when I click the Next Comment button we're taken to the next comment in the document and it's highlighted here in the Markup Area. Again, Next Comment, highlighted here, highlighted here and, again. So as you move through Comments where you see the Comments as you move through them will depend on whether you're seeing Comments Inline in the document or whether you're seeing them in the Markup Area. And like with Track Changes, you can delete comments. With a comment selected you can select the Delete Comment button. You'll delete this comment or you can delete All Comments in the Document. Let's click to delete that comment. You can see that the comment has now been removed, so too has the highlighting on this word. And like Track Changes, Comments are saved with the document so they'll be there next time you open the document to work on it.
