Use Hashtags In Word Comments

Here's a simple tip for flagging things in a Word document, courtesy of Alison Birch on the Editors Association of Earth Facebook group.

Use hashtags in your Word comments. Press CTRL-F to bring up the search pane and search on #. You'll get a list of all the comments containing hashtags on the left of your screen, with the text of the comment. If you have different hashtags, you can search on those.

This is much faster and easier than using Word's comment display features. I don't know why I never thought of this when I was working at the TSX; it would have saved me a lot time.
