Copying, Moving and Deleting Comments

Summary: Comments are handy when you are developing a document. Copying, moving, and deleting the comments is relatively easy; all you need to do is use the editing techniques you are already using. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

If you previously inserted comments into your document, using Word's Comment feature, and you want to duplicate one of them, you can use techniques you already know for copying regular text. To copy a comment, follow these steps:

  1. Highlight the comment mark in your document.
  2. Press Ctrl+C. The comment mark and the associated comment are copied to the Clipboard.
  3. Position the insertion point at the location where you want to copy the comment.
  4. Press Ctrl+V. The comment mark is inserted in your document, and the associated comment is added to your document.

If you want to move a comment to another location in your document (or even to another document), you can use techniques you already know for moving regular text. To move a comment, follow these steps:

  1. Highlight the comment mark for the comment you want to move.
  2. Press Ctrl+X. The comment mark and the associated comment are removed from your document and copied to the Clipboard.
  3. Position the insertion point at the location where you want the comment moved.
  4. Press Ctrl+V. The comment mark is inserted in your document, and the associated comment is again added to the document.

To remove a comment from your document, follow these steps:

  1. Highlight the comment mark in your document.
  2. Press either Del or Ctrl+X.

Tip #1181 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
