Ann, OK, found that. The reviewing toolbar was already checked- perhaps that happens automatically when someone adds comments? I could get to the comments using the next or previous buttons, but it took a few more keystrokes than using Steve's method of alt-shift-'. After activating one of these buttons, I could pull up a context menu to delete the comment but not to edit it. Thank you for the additional method of access and information.

Check it under view, then press alt, then control-tab till you get to it. There are all kinds of comment buttons. At 04:39 PM 2/5/2008, you wrote: >Yes, that works great for XP also.
