Word 2002 is the one version that did NOT apply highlighting to comments. If
the document you received was created in that version, then you won't see
highlighting. No promises, but perhaps running this macro will help:

Sub HighlightAllComments()
    Dim cmt As Word.Comment
    
    For Each cmt In ActiveDocument.Comments
        cmt.Scope.HighlightColorIndex = wdTurquoise
    Next
End Sub
