Comments are a handy way of inserting notes alongside your regular document content and are visible to viewers and collaborators. These can be invaluable for communicating with collaborators about specific parts of the document, as well as making notes about changes you've made or would like to make. When you publish your document as a web page, post it to your blog, or print it, the comments will disappear.
To add a comment to your document, follow these instructions:
- Place your cursor where you'd like your comment to appear.
- Click the Insert tab along the top of the page.
- Select the Comment icon from the displayed toolbar.
- Type your comment in the comment field. Each comment is automatically stamped with your username and the date.
- To print your comments, go to Print settings in the File menu and you'll see a box called Include comments. This box will be selected by default.
A useful tip: If you'd like a shortcut, you can also use the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl + M (Cmd + M for Mac), to insert a comment.
To delete a comment, simply click on it and choose Delete comment from the menu.
