Microsoft Word Mac Print Track Changes And Comments
Oct 29, 2015 The Track Changes feature in Word allows you to mark changes you make in a document so anyone else working on the document knows what changes you made.

Jun 11, 2019 Printing Without Comments Word 2010 and 2016. There are two ways to prepare a document for printing without comments in both Word 2010 and 2016. One requires you to go to the Review tab, find the Tracking functions group, and open the Show Markup menu from there. If it’s ticked, clear the Comments checkbox.
Here’s how to export a summary of comments from a Word document for easy reviewing.
If you’re anything like me (read: an obsessed writer), you spend hours crafting the perfect words. The minute you’re done, you contact everybody you know and ask for feedback. If you use Word, Microsoft makes it easy for people to share their thoughts on certain passages through the Comments feature.
Let’s say you’ve got a document that’s hundreds of pages long. There are various comments spread throughout that you’d like to look over on paper. Sadly, when you try printing out your document, the comments don’t display properly. Don’t you wish you could just print out the comments themselves? Actually, you can, and it’s super easy to do.
- First, open your document. The comments should show up immediately. If they don’t, click on the Review tab. Select Simple Markup if you only want to see the comments or All Markup if you want to see what the comments are referencing. No Markup hides the comments and any revisions you’ve made to your document. Original is pretty much the same thing as No Markup.
Unless you only want to print comments from one person, make sure you have All Reviewers selected under Show Markup > Specific People.
- With that info out of the way, it’s time to start printing! Take your mouse and click on the File tab.
- Once you’ve done that, select Print.
- Under Settings click on Print All Pages and List of Markup. Note that once you do this, your print preview won’t update. But when you print it, it will produce a list of markup instead of the document.
- Now click Print. You’re done!
One last thing: If you have a bunch of tracked changes on your document as well as comments, those will be included in your list of markup.
If you’d rather only see comments, go to the Review pane and click Show Markup and deselect everything but Comments before you print.
