Comment feature oversights

[Susan B.]

This is a fine howdy-do. When I'm typing comments in the Reviewing pane,
AutoCorrect does not work! Nor can I drag & drop text; if I cut something
and paste, it ends up in the main doc. AutoCorrect and drag&drop both
work when I type in the comment *bubbles*, however. Does anyone know if
this is a bug that will be fixed? Is it just me, or has the comments feature
become an utterly useless piece of you-know-what?

You don't know the half of it. Select a word in a comment in the
Reviewing pane and hit Delete or type some text. The selected material
is not deleted!

When you're in the reviewing pane, you're in some weird editing planet
unlike the whole rest of Word. It's truly as if this were another
program altogether. m.
