In MS word 2003, i want to track changes and add comments. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The comments are most easily viewed in balloons (Tools|Options|Track changes). &nbsp;However, the option to use balloons is &quot;always,&quot; &quot;never&quot; or &quot;only for comments and formatting&quot;. &nbsp;If i select the last option, then there are often 100's of balloons with formatting changes (which i don't care about), and they obscure the balloons with comments (which i care a lot about).<br />
<br />
Is there any way to have comments but not formatting changes show up in balloons (seem like a long shot admittedly) in 2003?<br />
<br />
Tx<br />

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
