Comments. To add a comment to any Office

Click the text, cell, or section you want to
comment on, enter your comment in the box
that opens, and click the Comment button.
You can direct your comments to one or
more specific people by entering a plus sign
followed by their email address with the
comment. Each person will receive an email
with your comment and a link to the file. If
you want to assign the comment as a task to
someone, check the Assign To box next to

their email address.

Once a comment has been addressed,

the person can hit the Resolve button in the

comment box to hide it from view. They can

also reply directly to comments within the
