Comments from Word 2002 to 2007

[Ramsay]

We have a large number of templates written in Word 2002, most of which have
comment balloons associated with them. We are in the process of converting
these templates to Word 2007.
Would it be fair of me to assume we could just copy the text of these
comments to the new comments in our converted templates? Would there be any
corruption? Or do we need to type out the comments letter by letter to avoid
any corruption issues.

There are differing opinions in our department on how to proceed. Hoping
for some clarification from the helpful folks here.
Thanks

Well, Word 2007 also supports comment balloons, so you don't have to copy
the comments. Just opening the files in Word 2007 should work.
