Using comments

FreeOffice: The functions for working with Comments are not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.

You can use the ribbon command Review | group Comments | Insert comments_insert_icon (alternatively: the ribbon command Insert | Comment) to insert comments with respect to any text passage in a document.

Text with respect to which a comment is attached is highlighted in color. If you hover over such text, the comment is displayed in a pop-up window.

You can also enable the Comments pane comments_pane_icon (Review | group Comments). It then appears in the right margin of the document and always displays all comments.

By default, comments are only displayed on the screen and are not printed – unless you have enabled the option Print comments in the document properties. For more information, see Settings for comments.

Using the command group "Comments"

All commands for using comments can be found on the ribbon tab Review | group Comments:

comments_group_detailed

Insert new comment

Edit current comment

Delete current comment

Go to previous comment

Go to next comment

Enable/disable Comments pane
