replacing comments with footnotes

[Guest]

I wonder if there's a way to convert comments to footnotes. I need to print
documents and see the text with the comments on the same page. I know it can
be done with the balloons in Word 2003 (which I have at home), but I have
Word 2000 at work and the company refuses to upgrade (besides, taking copies
of documents out of the company's server is not allowed).

Thanks

Maybe you can use a macro I created that extracts all comments from the
active document to a new document (I know this is not the solution you asked
for but it may work for you anyway). You can read more and download the macro
from here:

Thanks for the macro. It can be of good use for the time being. It's much
better that Word's print comments, for it shows the "Comment scope", among
other things.
