Is there a way to view a list of comments in Microsoft Word 2007?

Question

I know how to make comments appear on the right side of the document. But is there a way to list down all comments made in the document so I see all of them at once instead of scrolling down the entire doc looking for them?

Answer 1

Here are two answers (with some overlap):

Step 1: On the “Review” tab, in the “Tracking” panel, go into the “Show Markup” dropdown
and clear everything but “Comments”, like this:
       
(If you don’t have any tracked changes (other than comments) you can skip this step.)

and then either

Step 2A: Still in the “Tracking” panel, enable a “Reviewing Pane”, like this:
       
… and you’ll get something like this:
                        

or

Step 2B: Print “List of markup”, like this:
       
Output is similar to what you get in the Reviewing Pane.

These instructions work, with trivial changes in the appearance of the user interface, in Word 2013.

Answer 2

This method may look cumbersome but it can be useful in certain situations:

If you save the document as .txt it will contain the main text of the document at first, and the comment list at the end, in this format:

[MG1]The whole table needs to be reviewed and updated.
[MG2]Remove section 2.2.4
[MG3]Insert correct reference.
