RE: Word -- printing comments only?

[Nancy Allison <maker -at- verizon -dot- net>]

  Thanks, Geoff. I'm using Word 2003. Unfortunately, "Print what?" does 
not provide a "Comments only" option any more!

And, believe it or not, in order to paste the comments into an editor, 
you have to select them line by line. You can't select all your comments 
or the entire reviewing pane, copy them, and paste them.

Why oh why did Microsoft mess with such a useful feature!
