Chapter 8. Working Collaboratively > Adding Comments
8.1. Adding Comments
Collaborating is all about clear communication, so Word lets you attach easy-to-read comments directly to the text you’re referring to. Go to Insert→Insert New Comment. What could be clearer? It’s even easier to add comments with the Review tab on the Ribbon. The “Add a comment about the selection” button is the very first item, as you can see in Figure 8-1. Even better, for documents with several reviewers, Word keeps track of who said what, when, marking comments with date, time, and a name or initials. That makes it a breeze for authors to follow up on a comment and get more details. Word lets you (and your readers) choose how you want to see these comments: as balloons or in the separate Reviewing Pane. See Figure 8-2 for details.
Note:
How does Word know who’s editing and commenting on a document? It uses the details stored in Word→Preferences→User Information.
