Printing comment references in Normal view

G

Guest

I can't print comment references in Normal view in MS Word 2003, which runs
on a Windows 2000 server. By comment references, I mean the reviewer initials
and comment numbers that appear in square brackets after highlighted text
where you insert a comment, for example, [LP5]. I can print the list of
markups by selecting "List of markup" from the "Print what" dropdown list in
the Print dialog box. However, when I print from Normal view, the
corresponding references that appear on screen so not appear on the hard
copy.

Does anybody know what error am I making? Or might this be a printer problem?

I would appreciate any help that you can provide.

Normal view isn't supposed to show the document as it will print.
Go to Print layout view instead, or to "Page > Print preview".

If you don't use balloons, the comment references should print. The only
reason I can think of that they wouldn't print would be that the comment
reference style is defined as hidden (Format > Font), and you don't print
hidden text.

Hi Klaus,

The comment reference style was defined as hidden. I should have thought of
that myself.

Because of a job change, I have had to switch from FrameMaker to Word and I
find that I am not as proficient as I would like. This is also the first time
that I have worked as a lone writer, so I am grateful for your help.

Regards,
Pamela
