Comments

Quick reference

• 00:04 Placing comments within a document is really mainstream.
• 00:07 I see it all the time.
• 00:08 On the Review ribbon, there's an entire group called Comments.
• 00:12 Right now the Show Comments is activated, and if I turn it on,
• 00:15 turn it off, nothing happens because there are no comments in the document yet.
• 00:20 Notice, I do have a button for a New Comment.
• 00:23 I'll go ahead and click that.
• 00:24 Since I was clicked on one word, I can now place a comment,
• 00:27 start a conversation right over here on the right hand side.
• 00:33 It does give me a tip, Press Ctrl+Enter to post.
• 00:36 Notice, I also have a little paper airplane here that says, Post Comment,
• 00:41 or the X to cancel this.
• 00:42 I'll go ahead and post this.
• 00:45 Two things happened, I got a pink rim right over here.
• 00:48 If the user of this document wants to type me a reply,
• 00:51 we can start a conversation back and forth.
• 00:53 And it's all held in this one little call out symbol.
• 00:58 Coming back up to the top, I can turn off the Show Comments button,
• 01:01 the panel in a way that the icon stay right over here.
• 01:05 When I flip my mouse on it, it does highlight the word in question, and
• 01:09 it has the Go to Comment tooltip.
• 01:11 So when I click this, it will open up again.
• 01:13 All right, lets click more comments in here.
• 01:16 I'll go ahead and select the next phrase.
• 01:19 And this time, my minibar immediately pops up.
• 01:22 And right in the middle is a button that says, New Comment,
• 01:25 saves me from having to travel all the way up to the top to hit New Comment.
• 01:29 Okay, I'll click this one.
• 01:31 I'll type a note, and I'll send that.
• 01:36 Well, basically, I'll post it.
• 01:37 Let's do a third one.
• 01:44 And I'll post that as well.
• 01:47 When I come up to the Review ribbon Comments,
• 01:50 I can turn off the Show Comments button, and I can send this off.
• 01:54 So whoever's going to review this, look at us, or reply to my comments,
• 01:59 they simply click on each one, type a reply, post it.
• 02:03 And now a conversation has begun that can be reviewed at any time.
• 02:07 Notice also, when I'm clicked into this box,
• 02:10 there's a pencil off to the side where I can edit this comment.
• 02:15 Also, a dot, dot, dot where I can Link to a Comment or Delete the Comment.
• 02:21 If you come up to the Show Comments button, we have Contextual Comment,
• 02:26 which is what I'm seeing on the right hand side.
• 02:29 Or you can click on List, which will basically stack them together.
• 02:35 As you click through each box,
• 02:37 it will highlight in pink which one is affiliated to it.
• 02:40 All right, at this point, I'm kind of done with this.
• 02:43 I've reviewed all the comments.
• 02:45 I can click Previous, Previous, Next, Next, or
• 02:48 I can hit the dropdown arrow on Delete.
• 02:51 Delete them individually, or Delete all Comments, Delete All Resolved.
• 02:56 I'm going to Delete All Comment.
• 02:59 Turn off the Show Comments button.
• 03:02 And we're done with this.
• 03:03 Oftentimes, you might receive a document that does have the little icons on
• 03:07 the right hand side, and people are just stymied how to turn that off.
• 03:10 You would just have to note, to hit the Review ribbon, come in here and
• 03:14 on the Show Comments, you can turn those off or on.
• 03:17 But basically, you need to resolve them all before those icons actually leave
• 03:22 the side of the margin of your paper.
