How to disable modern comments in Word? When I open Word today, it no longer shows old comments. Please, I need classic view.

You should see an option labelled "Enable modern comments" at File > Options > General. Clear that option.
Dear Adam,
Greetings! Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.
We understand you want to disable modern comments in Word.

If you don't see this setting in Word Options, we're afraid it's removed and not available now.
