Hello John, I use and read comments within Word 2010 all the time. Here's how I work with them: Make sure that you are in Print Preview mode first. Use Alt, w, p to pick that view mode. If you aren't in this view mode, nothing will work right. (A while back, I complained on this list that Window-eyes wasn't working properly for comments. My problem was that I tried to use comments while in the standard edit mode, Alt, w, e. That doesn't work. I only use print preview nowadays.)
Press Alt, r to reach the Review tab on the Ribbon bar. Then: Press n to move onto the text of the next comment, or press v to move onto the text of the previous comment. You can while in the text of a comment press navigation keys (arrow keys, home, end) to read the text. You can also edit the text. You can while in the text of a comment press Shift+Tab to display a shortcut menu; pick the desired option. You can insert a comment anywhere within a document. Press Alt, r, c to bring up a text balloon; type whatever you want; when finished, press the Escape key to finish your comment and exit the comment balloon. I hope this helps.

I hit insert-tab and see the list of comments; however, I can't figure out how to actually get in and see the entire comment; some comments have text that's more than I'm seeing. I tried pressing the context key and that didn't work. Any suggestions? John riehl If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
