Word 2013: No Text Zoom Option with Comments RRS feed

  • Question

  • I'm trying to read my document that has had comments added to it. I need to zoom b/c the text of both the document and the comments are too small. But the zoom does not apply to the doc or the comments. 

    Is there some way to export the comments into a separate document so I can at least zoom them there?  Something else?

    Word 2013 -- The notion we only get to read 1 paragraph at a time is absurd and counter-productive.

  • To zoom a document, you can use the Zoom slider on the bottom right (on the status bar). This affects the whole documents, including comment balloons.

    To zoom the Reviewing pane, first click inside the pane, and then proceed as above.

  • Please note that MSDN forums target programming questions developers have when writing code using Microsoft products. Your issue falls into the category end-user, so you're less likely to find people who work with Word the way you do in the MSDN forums. The better place for you to ask in the future:
