Annotations MSOffice

MS Word

Word includes sophisticated editing tools like Track Changes and Comments. But Word's basic tools fall short in some areas, and can be greatly enhanced to help teachers and editors improve their efficiency, create better feedback and save paper.

Annotate for Word streamlines the editing and commenting processes in several ways. Along with unifying Word's basic commenting features, Annotate for Word adds numerous custom buttons to make commenting faster and more effective.

Annotations are typically incorrectly printable. They should be removed.

Using Word’s Document Inspector makes it easy to find and remove these details, so you are left with a professional quality document.

1. Click the Office button.

2. Click Prepare and select Inspect Document.

3. The Document Inspector dialog box will appear.

4. Check the Comments and Annotations checkbox.

6. Click the Remove All button next to Comments, Revisions, Versions, and Annotations.

7. Click the Close button.

8. Save your document.

Your document is now free of all of the comments and tracked changes info.

MS Excel

You can add notes to a worksheet by using comments. Using comments can help you make a worksheet easier to understand by providing additional context for the data it contains. For example, you can use a comment as a note that provides information about data in an individual cell, or you can add a comment to a column heading to provide guidance on data that a user should enter.

When a cell has a comment, a red indicator appears in the corner of the cell. When you rest the pointer on the cell, the comment appears.



Delete a comment:

1. Click the cell that contains the comment that you want to delete.

2. Do one of the following:   On the Review tab, in the Comments group, click Delete.  On the Review tab, in the Comments group, click Show/Hide Comment to display the comment, double-click the comment text box, and then press DELETE.
