To add comments and annotations in Microsoft Word, follow these steps:
Open the Word document you want to add a comment or annotation to.
Place your cursor at the point in the document where you want to add the comment or annotation.
Go to the "Review" tab in the Word ribbon at the top of the screen.
In the "Comments" section, click on the "New Comment" button. This will insert a comment box in the document's margin.
Type your comment in the comment box that appears. You can also mention specific text within the document by selecting it and then adding a comment.
To reply to a comment, click on the reply button below the comment box and type your reply.
To delete a comment, right-click on the comment box and select "Delete Comment" from the context menu.
To add annotations:
Select the text or section of the document you want to annotate. You can do this by dragging your cursor over the text or holding down the "Shift" key and using the arrow keys to select the desired section.
Right-click on the selected text and choose "Add Comment" from the context menu. This will open a comment box in the document's margin, linked to the selected text.
Type your annotation or additional information in the comment box.
To format the annotation, right-click on the comment box, select "Format Comment," and you can change the font, size, and other formatting options.
To delete an annotation, right-click on the comment box and select "Delete Comment" from the context menu.
Remember to save your document after adding comments and annotations, as these will be part of the document and can be shared and viewed by others.
