Word – How to print word documents with comments using OpenOffice

microsoft wordopenofficeopenoffice-writerprinting

I received a word document that contains comments which are shown to the right of the page. When I print the document the comments are not printed, whereas the changes in the text are.

How can I also print the the comments?

I tried to create a PDF first and included the comments, but in the text only a symbol is shown. I have to click on the symbol first to see the comment. The comments are not included on the printed version of those PDF documents.

So, is it possible to include the comments when printing the document? (I saw that it is possible in Microsoft word).

I'm using OpenOffice 3.2.0, OOO320m12 (Build: 9483) on MacOSX Leopard

You can't exactly duplicate the way MS Word prints the comments (on the right side) but try this:

  • Open Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org Writer->Print
  • Set the Comments option to End of document or End of page
