How to use the Comment Feature In Microsoft Word 2000/2002

  1. Highlight the text for which you'd like to create a comment. Click on Insert on the top Menu bar
    and select Comment. (In Word 2000, selected text is highlighted in yellow. In Word 2002, select
    text is enclosed between two red brackets. In both cases a separate frame appears at the bottom
    of the page.)
  2. Type your comments in that bottom frame, and click on the small Close button that appears at the
    top of the Comment frame. (In Word 2002 click on the Review Pane icon that appears on the
    bottom tool bar at the top of your document to close the comment pane.)

Now your comments will appear in a bubble every time you move your mouse pointer over the text
area that is highlighted in yellow or enclosed in red brackets.
Adding comments to your Word documents can provide useful insight about your thoughts when
your created the original.
