switching between comment balloons and the reviewing pane

[Guest]

Hi all,

When I go to make comments on a document I am reviewing, sometimes it lets
me use balloons, and sometimes it opens that reviewing pane for my comments.
I prefer to use balloons, but I can't figure out how to switch from the
reviewing pane to using balloons and vice versa. Anyone help me with this?
Please email me at (e-mail address removed).

Thanks guys - likely an easy solution, but I'll be damned if I can find it.

Take care - Wayne

This might be as simple as changing your view. If you sometimes get balloons
and sometimes not it sounds like you have balloons set on. They do not,
however, display in Normal View, only in Print view.

If you are always in Print View, then under Tools > Options > Track Changes
(tab) there is a dropdown towards the bottom to set when you want to use
balloons. This option is also available from Show > Balloons on the
Reviewing toolbar

Tony, Thanks - you are correct, and that was my problem.

I hadn't thought that there might be a view issue.

Take care - Wayne
