Comments are always tagged with the word Comment in Word 2002 (XP)!
Comments are always tagged with the word Comment. A better
tool for your purposes is text boxes. You can add a text
box either by choosing Text Box from the Insert menu or by
clicking on the Text Box button on the Drawing toolbar.
Depending on the version of Word, an area labeled Create
Your Drawing Here may appear. Ignore it. Use your mouse to
click and drag the text box to define its position and
size in the margin, then enter your comment in the text
box and adjust the size as needed. You can also format the
box and the text using Format | Text Box.
You'll want to anchor the text box to the correct
paragraph. To do this, choose Tools | Options, then View,
and in the Print and Web Layout area, make sure there's a
check in the Object Anchors check box. Select the text box
and look for a small anchor icon in the left margin,
indicating to which paragraph the text box is anchored. If
necessary, use the mouse to drag the anchor to the right
paragraph. Finally, with the text box still selected,
choose Format | Text Box, choose the Layout tab, click on
the Advanced button and then the Picture Position tab. In
the Options section, make sure that the Lock anchor and
Move object with text options are checked, so the text box
will move with the paragraph as you enter and edit text.
Do note that the text box will not be visible if you
switch to Normal view—you need to use Print Layout view.
