Displaying, hiding, and viewing comments
You can choose to display or hide the comments that you create. If you display a comment, an icon is displayed in the left margin next to the line in which the comment is inserted. In Draft view, comments appear as shaded text within the document. You can assign a user name, initials, and color to a comment and view that information, along with the author name creation date, and time.
By default, comments are not printed with the document; however, you can convert them to text within the document and then print them. For information about converting comments, see “Converting text and comments.” For information about printing comments, see “Printing document sections and comments.”
