Gone are the days of the red pen and written markups on

students’ papers. Today a teacher can go paperless, and at

the same time create more effective feedback on their

students’ papers.

The objective of this workshop is to demonstrate how to insert text and voice comments into Microsoft Word documents. This is will include an explanation of both Microsoft Word 2003 and 2007.

There will be a hands-on activity to assure complete

understanding of this feature.

Some of the benefits of using this Microsoft Word feature include:

Quick and clear feedback inserted directly into

students’ papers.

Depending on the student’s needs, either text, voice,

or a combination can be utilized.

Documents corrected with text or voice comments

can be sent quickly by email or digital drop boxes.

Going paperless saves trees.

To add text comments to a document

1. Select the text or item that you want to comment

on, or click at the end of the text.

2. On the Review tab, in the Comments group, click

New Comment.

comment, and then click Delete Comment.

Comments group, click the arrow below Delete, and then

The insert voice feature does not work with a

Windows Vista operating system for either

Word 2003 or 2007.

Inserting text comments works with both

Windows Vista and XP operating systems, using

either Word 2003 or 2007.

Since Windows 7 is relatively new, this

workshop only includes Windows Vista and XP.
