Word 2007, printing with comments

Question

I am trying to print a document that has many comments by several people and some of the comments are quite large.  While I can get the document to print with comments, the larger comments end with "..."  So the solution I had for my boss was to print the comments only, but that's not very useful to the people who need to review it.

Does anyone know how I can print ALL of the comments on one page?  Preferably, I could print all of the comments "inline"; however, I don't see the comments at all that way. I simply see where someone made a comment throughout the document.

Answer 1

One option could be running the following macro which actually inserts comment text in line with text. Ensure that you do not save the document after you have run the macro, though.

Sub InsertCommentTextInline()

Dim c As Comment

For Each c In ActiveDocument.Comments

Set myrange = c.Reference.Duplicate

With myrange

.InsertAfter "["

.InsertAfter c.Range.Text

.InsertAfter "]"

End With

With myrange.Font

.Bold = True   'Make comment text stand out

End With

Next c

End Sub

If you get hold of Snagit from www.techsmith.com, the Snagit Printer may be able to print all of the comments.  If not, you could using it to make a scrolling screen capture of the document that you could then print from the Snagit Editor.
