There are two ways of viewing comments:
▪In the comments pane (always visible)
| When you insert a comment into a document for the first time, or when you open a document that already contains comments, the comments pane automatically appears in the right margin of the document. It displays all comments for the current page. A connector between the comment and the corresponding text indicates to which section of text the comment refers. |
| You can enable or disable this comments pane at any time: |
To do so, click on Review | group Comments | Comments pane  . |
Note: Even if this option is enabled, the comments pane only appears if the document actually contains comments.
▪In pop-up windows (made visible by pointing)
| If the comments pane is disabled, comments will only become visible when you hover over a section of text that has a comment. A pop-up window will open and display the comment. |
Print comments
Comments usually only appear on the screen; they are not printed. If you want comments to also appear on the printout, enable the option Print comments. For more information, see Settings for comments.
Note: Regular text will be reduced in size to make room for the comments on the printed page. Thus, the proportions of the printout will not correspond to the actual dimensions of the document.
