Using Comment Feature of Word

Please use the Comment Feature of Microsoft Word in order to conduct your peer review. It is fairly simple. Here are the instructions for those of you using Word 2007:

1. Open the Word document
2. When you want to comment on a particular word, phrase, or sentence, then use the mouse to highlight it
3. After you've highlighted the word/phrase/sentence, go to "Review" located in the tool bar at the top of the page and click on it
4. You will see a few new items pop up in the lower tool bar, including an icon of a yellow folder that says "New Comment." Click on "New Comment"
5. A box will appear in the margin of the paper. You type your comment into this box.
6. To comment on an entire paragraph, I usually highlight the period at the end of the final sentence, and then click "New Comment" to add the comment at the end of that paragraph.
7. Remember to save the commented draft, and then email it to me AND to the writer of the paper.
8. Please let me know if you encounter problems with this.
9. Below you will find attached a sample so you can see what this looks like
