Synopsis
A comment is an annotation that is not in the document’s main text. Comments are visible in the comments pane (View → Comments) and by holding the pointer over the comment in the main document text (Figure 7-14). The initials of the user who inserted the comment appear at the end of the comment in the Comments pane, and their full name appears at the beginning of the comment as it is displayed in a ScreenTip.

Figure 7-14. Commenting
To insert a comment, select the word, sentence, or paragraph to which the comment will refer, and choose Insert → Comment. The selected text becomes highlighted in bright yellow, and the Comments pane opens. The reviewer’s initials appear in brackets next to the highlighted text and along with the insertion point in the Comments pane. Type the comment and click the Comment pane’s Close button to return to the document.
