Hi Edward, I'm confused about a couple of things, which maybe you can clarify:
are the comments you're finding that WE is missing, are they themselves some of the changes you have yet to accept? if so, it's understandable that we doesn't see them, at least it is if you in the original showing markup view; in that view, the changes aren't "in the document" until you accept them. if that's not the issue, does this have anything to do with you selecting a large portion of the document and working with the changes and comments only in the selected portion of the document? I wasn't clear if you were just mentioning this was possible (to select a portion of a document to work with), or if this was part of when the problem showed itself. thanks.
