Printing the comments in Word 97

[Elizabeth P]

I have user that wants to print the comments inserted by
different people in the document location where the
comments occur and not at the end of the document.

I know in Word 2002 the comments will print on the
document where they occur. since the user will not be
viewing the documents on line

I don't believe this is possible in Word 97.

An additional comment...

If you're unfamiliar with macros, see:

for how to install it.

The following very simple macro will insert the text of your
comments after their referenced text. When you've run the macro,
simply print the document and then close without saving, unless
you want the comment text to be saved with the document.

Sub PrintCommentsWithText
Dim c As Comment
For Each c In ActiveDocument.Comments
c.Reference.InsertAfter "[" & c.Range.Text & "]"
Next c
End Sub

This worked great! I haven't coded in BASIC since I was in school. Thank you.

Note that in recent versions of Word you can choose to print the comment
"balloons" in the text, which may be a better option.
