Comment in Word similar to Excel
Hi.
After adding a comment to a cell in Excel you can piont at the cell and see the comment in a littel popup ballon. Is it possible to add a comment in Word that works the same way? Regards Einar |

I take it you don't like the so-called comment balloons in Word 2007? Even if you have set Word to never show balloons (Review tab | Track Changes | Change Tracking Options) you should see the comment text as you rest your mouse pointer on the commented text. Be sure to enable the display of screentips (Office button | Word Options | Popular).

Thanks for your answer. Sorry to say it did not solve the hole problem.
Using the setting you suggested I get brackets, pink color and initials in the textline. Please see enclosed file. Is it possible to get rid of this. The best would be if the comment was hidden until I rest the mouse over it. Einar |

You can't get rid of the highlighting for the commented text, no. What you can do is use the Document Inspector to delete personal information. Then, each time you save and reopen the document, the comment initials will be replaced with "A" (for Author), and they will no longer be the initials of a particular editor of the document.
