Hide or Delete Comments in Microsoft Word

In Ms Word, comments are notes about the document content. They can be written for oneself as a reminder or clarification for future reference or conveying some message about the selected text for reviewers and readers of the document. You can add comments, delete existing ones OR temporarily hide the comments in a Microsoft word document.

Steps

1. Delete  a Comment- Right click on the Comment balloon. A menu will appear. Click on the option 'Delete Comment'
2. Delete All comments in the document- Go to review Tab-  In the comments group options, click Delete Button and from drop down menu select 'Delete all comments in the document'
3. Hide Comments- Go the Review tab, locate and click the Option 'Show markup'. From the drop down menu that appears click on 'comments' to remove the checkmark besides it.
4. Show comments- Follow the step number 3 above, this time make sure that the check mark appears. That will show all the comments.
5. Press ENTER to add more steps

Tips

• Hiding comments do not remove them from the document, they are there but not visible. Delete on the other hand completely removes the comments.
