copying contents of a reviewing pane

[Centmarys]

I am writing a report and I have been using the "comments" puuting my
references as comments. Before, I could reveal these in the "reviewing pane"
and then copy and paste them in a new document ofr editing. Now, when I
select more than one comment, the copy function becomes disabled. How could
I copy the multiple selctions from a reviewing pane

In which version did it used to work? I can't recall ever being able to select and
copy multiple comments in Word 2003...

Anyway, if you want to pick up multiple comments, the most efficient way is to

1. Switch to Normal view
2. Turn off the functionality to display comments in balloons
3. Run the internal "ViewAnnotations" command

And, putting it all together in a macro:

Sub ViewcommentsPane()
Dim doc As Word.Document

Set doc = ActiveDocument
doc.ActiveWindow.View = wdNormalView
WordBasic.ViewAnnotations
End Sub
