A reader recently wrote to me with an inquiry regarding comments in Outlook 2003. She was lamenting the fact that she used to have the capability to insert comments into forwarded e-mail messages that looked like reviewing comments in Word. She could not determine how to do the same thing in Outlook 2007 and wondered if it was possible.
I told this reader that the only thing different was that in Outlook 2003, she used Word as her e-mail editor which is not available in Outlook 2007.
It is still possible to add snazzy looking comments to your messages in version 2007, but you will have to turn on the feature beforehand. Follow the steps below to learn how:
- Click on Tools | Options on the Preferences tab.
- Click the E-mail Options icon.
- Select the Mark My Comments With check box and key your name in as you would like it to appear with your comments.
You can now easily insert your comments. Just click on Reply or Forward and you can then start your commenting!
