Deleting Comments

[Steve Frye]

Is there a way to delete all the comments in a document in one fell swoop?

Thanks
Steve

In Word 2002, there is a Delete All Comments in Document command on the
Reviewing toolbar.

Run this macro:

Dim C As Comment
For Each C In ActiveDocument.Comments
C.Delete
Next

In case you're not familiar with macros, to install one:

* Copy macro from the thread.
* On a blank doc press Alt-F8.
* In the 'Macro name' box where your cursor is, type in a name like
MyMacroName.
* In the 'Macros in' box make sure Normal.dot is selected so you can
access it from any document.
* Click Create. It takes you straight to the new macro code.
* Paste in the copied macro between Sub MyMacroName () and End Sub
* Where you get two red lines take out the break between them.
* Press Ctrl-S to save.
* Alt-q takes you back to the document. Whole thing takes less than a
minute.
* To run the macro: Alt-F8, scroll down to macro, click Run.
