Again, focusing on the review ribbon,
this time we're going to talk about the comments section.
So we can create a new comment, we can delete comments,
look at the previous and next.
Those are all grey, because none of them are made, or we can show comments.
First of all I've clicked right here on sample text and
I'm going to put a comment right on that very spot.
Now I'm gonna type on the actual paper.
I'm going to just click this button on the review ribbon, new comment and
I'm gonna say, just a note here.
Now when I'm done typing there's not even a save button.
I just hit the close right over here and
notice a little call out showed up in the margin.
Now you can click around and
not see anything on the piece of paper except this call out is here.
When I activate that, there is my comment.
Now there is another little icon and this is a reply.
So if I was editing someone's manuscript and I left it full of notes,
they could then reply to my notes and say, this is my reply.
And then I would close that.
And now, nothing changed, I didn’t get a second one.
But when I click on that you can see the conversation happening.
I’ll go ahead and close those.
Another way to do this is maybe I want to leave a comment on phrase.
I don’t especially like this one, so I’m going to highlight that,
type new, or click new comment and say, please reword this phrase.
Okay, and I'll close that one.
Now notice, I did not get a new call out.
What's happening is Microsoft Word is kind of combining
comments that are in one section into one call out so
it's not littered with call outs over here on the edge.
When I click on here though you can see the thread of comments happening and
then when I float my mouse on any particular one of them
it then highlights in pink which one it's referring to, all right.
Now there's another way to see all of the comments and
that is the show comments button.
Now it goes my entire screen's gonna change a little bit on
the right hand side.
When I activate show comments, now we have
my thread of comments going on over here that now when I float my mouse in here.
Let me see if I can reduce a little, see a little more.
When I float my mouse on a comment, look what happens.
It draws a line to the actual comment and highlights it.
I sort of love this feature.
Let me show you something else that might happen.
I'm going to go ahead and delete all of the comments in the document.
Now notice that my show comments is still on but,
I don't have any comments that are on the shows.
I can turn that off and nothing happens.
In older versions if you would have hit show comments,
it would actually still left a three inch margin over there.
It will not do it anymore if there are no comments to show.
So that is good news.
We do have this button right up here, which is ink comment.
Now in ink comment, simply means that with my mouse, I'm going to type a word here.
This has never gonna happen, I can't write with my mouse.
So I don't necessarily find any useful purpose of the income,
unless I'm gonna draw pictures or I have a pen stylus or something.
So I'll go ahead and delete all comments right there.
But just so you know, you have this whole section up here for
comments, it's very useful if you know what it's for.
And if that's your business is in editing and reviewing other people's work.
So, all right, thank you.
