No, I don't want to hide the markup. That's essential for me and for my clients. It would help if I could get the comments in red. That function is not working either.

But based on your replies, I'm most likely going to uninstall Word 2013 (good-bye $150) and go back to 2003. So far my experience with Windows 8 and Word 2013 has been somewhat nightmarish. Both of these are unsuited for business use and a major disappointment. I've lost five days in the past week trying to adapt them for use in my work.

What's a "Microsoft MVP"?
