Word – Cannot insert comments on a table in Word 2010

microsoft-word-2010

I have a document with a table. I can insert comments (under the Review tab) anywhere, but for some reason I am not allowed to add comments inside the table (even though the text inside the table is perfectly editable). The option becomes greyed out as soon as I select the table.

Is this disallowed in Word? How can I add comments referring to a table or elements of the table?

I'm using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010.

If I am reading your question correctly, you need to change the way Word views the comments to be inline. Here is how to do it; Review Ribbon > Tracking > Show Markup > Balloons select Show All Revisions Inline.
