Combining comments from multiple Word docs

Question

When I combine multiple Word docs with comments, some of the comments disappear.  It seems if someone comments in a table, those comments will not merge over to the master document.  Is there a fix for this?  I have approximately 80 files that I have to merge comments on into one document.  Is there a way to do this without losing comments?

Hi Kim,

I will assist you with the issue you are facing with Word documents.

Create two new test documents and perform a test. Check if the issue occurs.

If you are able to reproduce the issue, then share the documents which you are facing issue with on the SkyDrive, so that we can check and assist you better.
