Check the number of comments

Post by jmt356 »

Is it possible to check how many comments there are in a Word 365 file without manually counting each comment bubble?
Regards,

JMT

Press Alt+F11 to activate the Visual Basic Editor
Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window.
Type the following and press Enter:

Code: Select all

? ActiveDocument.Comments.Count
The number of comments will be shown in the line below.
Best wishes,
Hans

This could be placed in a macro:

Code: Select all

Sub CountComments()
  MsgBox Prompt:= "The number of Comments is: " & ActiveDocument.Comments.Count
End Sub
