Oh, to solve the print issue:

Method 1: See my attachment 1 (Note, the comments remain in the doc, so if you send it, a reader could open up the comments, etc)

Method 2: Office Oval > Prepare > See Attachment 2 (Note, this removes the comments -- what you would do if you don’t want the receiver of the doc to be able to see your Comments, etc)

I appreciate you trying to help, but I think u misunderstood. What I want is to be able to make comments in the balloon (and print them), but without there being this unnecessary "Comment [#]:" label in every bubble. My goal is just to make the comments easier to read. Intuitively, you would expect Microsoft to include this as an option in tools>options>track-changes>balloons, but all you can do there is change the color of the balloon and on which side the balloons show up.

I see what you want, but I cannot see how this can be done

You might find someone here who can help, because I am at a loss

Let me know what you find out there
