How to Insert a Comment in a Microsoft Word Document

1. Open the document in Microsoft Word.
2. Highlight the text you are commenting on. This can be a word or a whole page (a whole page may get tricky to select).
3. Click on the 'Review' menu. In the Comments section, you will find a 'New Comment' button. It looks like a yellow post-it note with a starburst on it.
4. Click on the 'New Comment' button. Microsoft Word will insert a bubble in the right-hand column of your document with your initials and the cursor. You can then type your comment. You can format your comment text just like the text in the body of the document or leave it with the default settings.
5. Click anywhere outside of the bubble to exit the comment.
