How do I add a comment without opening reviewing pane?

Sometimes I use a split window in Word 2003 or 2002. If I want to add a
comment, the split goes away and the reviewing pane opens. Is there a way to
stop this from happening? I don't want to lose my split window every time I
add a comment. I like to work in Web layout view with no balloons.

The reviewing pane uses the same function as the split screen to create the
panel. The best you are likely to achieve is a macro to close the reviewing
pane (essentially the split) then split the screen to a preferred amount -
50% in the following example.

Sub MySplitScreen()
ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneRevisions
ActiveWindow.SplitVertical = 50
End Sub

Add this macro to your revisions toolbar.

your comment then the macro.
