Dear Paul in Canberra,

Thank you for resolving this issue.

The well-intended folks at MS support were willing to charge me $99 to "fix" the problem ... which you point out is not at all a problem, but rather a misunderstanding about the date/time stamp on comments.

I see that for EDITS to my Word document, the actual date and time stay linked to when I made them. But COMMENTS are different.

Now I understand. Thanks, again, for responding to my issues. You saved me a world of trouble!
