Re: Accurate Usage of Track Changes in merged documents

Hello Beth:
Thanks.
How do I get a screen at the bottom of a page in MS Word document that shows
following (the entire page in this docuement gets divided into 2 sections):
Comments from: Name of the reviewer in a drop down menu. I could select here
either Individual reviewer or All reviewers (using the drop down menu) and I
would see their comments. I could get this scrren when I search a word in
this document and if that word is happen to be in the comments made by the
reviewer. I donot know the command or option to get this screen?

Thanks

You're welcome. Sorry if I was being a bit thick-headed and not
understanding what you were looking for. :-)

Regarding your question about transferring comments, Word 2000 had a
Comments Pane you can use to display all comments or by reviewer. You can
use that pane to copy the comments and paste them in another document. I
don't know if this command is still available for adding to a toolbar
(perhaps someone with Word prior to 2007 can check for you) but I know it
can still be viewed using a macro. Something like:

Sub ViewCommentsPane()
If Documents.Count > 0 Then
If ActiveDocument.Comments.Count > 0 Then
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneComments
Else
MsgBox "No comments found in the active document", vbInformation
End If
End If
End Sub

Thanks Beth. It worked (_-_).
Now next question:
Is is possible to transfer the comments in a separate document? I know, I
could click on Reviewing Pane and see the comments by each reviewer
(View--Reviewing--Reviewing pane).
