I have just upgraded to Word 2002 and after much fiddling
around I have established that if I can use screen tips to
view comments by hovering over the commented text.
However, I use the same package at home and at work but
the two behave differently. At work the screen tip remains
visible as long as I keep the cursor over the commented
text. At home the screen tip flashes up but then
disappears again before I've had time to read it. It
doesn't appear again unless I move the cursor away and
back again but I still can't read it. I've looked at all
the options but I can't see anything obviosuly diffeerent
between the two set ups. Does anyone have any idea what I
need to do to be able to see the comments on my machine at
home in the same way I can on my machine at work?
 
This is a bug that surfaced in Word 2002. The fix, oddly enough, is to
display, then hide, the Document Map. This must be done once per document.

or Endnote Reference Mark Flickers and Contains No Text When You Rest the
