I'm using Word 2003. I have 'Final Showing Markup' set in the reviewing
toolbar and and show Balloons 'Always'. On most documents this works fine,
but in one specific document I can only see the balloons in Web Layout view.
The balloons don't appear in Print Preview either. If I have the document
open and create a new document the new document works fine. Anyone have any
idea what setting(s) I need to change?

TIA

The problem could be that the style named "Comment Text" (automatically
applied to comments) for some reason has been defined as hidden (Font > Font
tab > Hidden). If that is the case, modify the style.

Thanks for your response but this isn't the problem. Neither 'Comment Text'
or 'Balloon Text' are defined as hidden and actually I have 'show hidden
text' turned on. If for example I apply the style 'Comment Text' to text in
he body of the document it appears fine.
