How to Add Comments in Microsoft Word

Step by Step

1. Make a backup copy of the original document before making major or irreversible changes.
2. Select text, open Review, choose New Comment, and type the note.
3. Review the output carefully, including page order, formatting, images, and text.
4. Save the result with a new filename until you are sure it is correct.

If That Doesn't Work

• Exact menu names differ between Adobe Acrobat/Reader, Microsoft Office, browsers, macOS, Windows, and third-party applications.
• For confidential documents, avoid uploading files to an unknown online converter; use trusted software or services.
