Adding a "Sticky Note" to your Document
When reviewing a printed document, many people like to scribble comments in the margin or add a "sticky note" on top. Word 97 lets you place electronic sticky notes on documents as you go. Select the text you wish to comment on, select Insert/Comment, type your remark in the window that appears, and click Close. The text appears highlighted.
To review comments, click the Next Comment icon in the Reviewing toolbar (right-click any toolbar and select Reviewing to bring it up). Hold the cursor over the highlighted text, and a box pops up with your comment inside. Note that online comments, previously called Annotations, let you see the reader's comments in place, without having to open another window.
