Tracking Changes and comment balloons in Word 2002

[Gene Hofeling]

I use the Track Change feature often. I prefer the
interlining and underlining to mark insertions and
deletions but I prefer comment balloons for adding
explanations about the insertions and deletions.

I do not like the review pane window at the bottom of the
page. The review pane is not helpful.

Is there a way to use track change feature with
interlining and underlining for insertions and deletions
but use balloons instead of the reviewing pane for
explanations at the insertions and deletions?

Hi Gene,

This can be done in Word 2003, but I don't know if the
option is available in 2002. In the Reviewing toolbar, click
the SHOW button. Near the bottom of the list, under
"Balloons", there's an option to show only
Formatting/Comments in balloons.
