question on Comments

Greetings,
I've been having trouble using Comments, both in Word for Windows XP,
and now on my new Mac mini, OS X. I'm using Office 2004 (teachers and
students) and my upgrades are up to date. On my Mac, I have selected
ScreenTips and Balloons, Show Comments (in the Track Changes toolbar),
and I am looking at my document in Page Layout. But it's behaving very
erratically. In my current document, I initially had no trouble
creating comments, which showed up in balloons. But about halfway
through, when I try to insert a comment, the brackets appear but no
line leading to a bubble. The earlier comments still appear in bubbles.
I can type the comment in the reviewing pane, but as others in this
group have pointed out, the comments aren't numbered, so it's
confusing. It doesn't help that the font size in the reviewing pane is
tiny.
Also, for no apparent reason, the window of my document sometimes
shrinks to the same size as "Final," even though I still have "Final
With Markup" selected, so all my comment bubbles (those that work)
disappear. I have to quit Word and launch it again to get my view back.
These comments are really important for my work, so it's proving to be
a major inconvenience. I have tried to create new documents and pasting
in a copy of my original, without the final paragraph mark, but this
hasn't worked.
Can anyone make any other suggestions? Thanks kindly.
Befuddled
