Can Comment in word have pre-filled information?

We are wondering if the Comment balloon could have pre-filled information
title which the reviewer would have to provide.

Example when a comment is opened, the following would be shown, in addition
to the user's name or user's code:

Recommendation:
Rationale:



Thank you
 
This can be accomplished with a small macro. The following macro will insert
such comment:

Sub InsertCommentWithText()
Selection.Comments.Add Range:=Selection.Range, _
Text:=vbCr & "Recommendation:" & vbCr & "Rationale:"
End Sub

If you want the macro to be carried out instead of the built-in command for
inserting a comment, you must change the macro name from
“InsertCommentWithText†to “InsertAnnotationâ€.

If you need help on installing a macro, see:
