Navigation:  Reviewing documents > Using comments

You can use the ribbon command Review | group Comments | Insert (alternatively: the ribbon command Insert | Comment) to insert comments with respect to any text passage in a document.

Text with respect to which a comment is attached is highlighted in color. If you hover over such text, the comment is displayed in a pop-up window.

You can also enable the Comments pane (Review | group Comments). It then appears in the right margin of the document and always displays all comments.

By default, comments are only displayed on the screen and are not printed – unless you have enabled the option Print comments in the document properties. For more information, see Settings for comments.
