I would like to be able to dictate in the comments bubble in Word (Mac version) but when I create the comment using dictation, the words still go in the main text not the comment bubble. Is it possible to dictate comments? If so how.

    Hello, glad to assist you today!

    In Word for Mac, Dictate follows your active cursor. Insert the comment, click inside the comment so the cursor is blinking there, then select Home and choose Dictate. If the cursor stays in the main document, your words go to the main text. Also, Dictate works at the current insertion point and requires Microsoft 365 with the latest update installed.

    Please let me know if you have further question, stay safe!
