Question
How does one copy all the comments in one word document to paste into
another word document. When I select all the comments in a document the copy
function is no longer available.
Thanks for your help.

How does one copy all the comments in one word document to paste into
another word document. When I select all the comments in a document the copy
function is no longer available.

Word provides no functionality for this. You could use the "Print what"
selection in File/Print to print "Markup", and choose to print to a file, using
a Generic Text Printer as the printer. If your document doesn't contain any
markup but comments, that will put the comments in a plain text file that you
can insert into another Word document.

Your only other recourse would be a macro.
