MS Word Suppress Printing of Comment Balloons

[JCarr22]

I would like to suppress the printing of the comment balloons
located in the right margin of my document. I want them to appear while on
the screen, but not print. Any thoughts?

In the Print dialog box, for "Print what," choose "Document" (as opposed to
"Document showing markup" which is the default in a document with comments
and/or tracked changes).

 

[JCarr22]

Thank you. Is there a way to make that setting the default for all users of
that particular document?

 

[Stefan Blom]

No, not really. You have very little control over how others choose to view
or print the document.

I'd create a separate document without comments.
