Always show comment highlights in Word 2013

6

To comment on text in Word, I highlight the text, click add comment, type a comment, etc. When I go to print, the commented text is highlighted. When I mouse over the comment, the commented text is highlighted. Is there a way to always show the highlights on commented text, even when I'm not mousing over or printing?

In the Review tab, go to the Tracking section. There, you'll see a drop-down menu. It probably says Simple Markup. Change it to All Markup, and you'll see the commented sections highlighted.

Here is the official Microsoft explanation. http://blogs.office.com/2012/08/28/comments-and-revisions-in-word-2013/

Screen (in German): Position of dropdown to always show comment background
