Word Comments

Native Microsoft Word comments are not currently supported in DM Word reports. Instead, use one of these methods:

  1. Use DM Word Comments -- See Add Comments for detailed steps
  2. Write comments in [brackets] in the document text, with highlighting or a colored font. To find comments, use Find (Ctrl+F) to search for the bracket symbol "["
