Use the comments feature in word processors or Adobe Acrobat to annotate writing.

What is the comments feature?
The comments feature is a means of providing feedback on written text in word processors and Adobe Acrobat.
The comments are embedded into the actual text to annotate personal writing as well as reflection on others’ works.

Pros for the use of the comments feature:
Convenience (saves paper)
Accessibility (lack of technology)
Absent Student (email comments)

Cons for the use of the comments feature:
Overwhelming (too many corrections)
Legibility (less clutter, ink stains)
Incompatibility (different versions of Word)

Here is how you use the comments feature in Microsoft Word. (Demonstration)

Use the example paragraph on the following website in order to practice using this feature:

The kidnapping and ransom of individuals for profit has dramatically increased in the past decade throughout the world. While the majority of victims are wealthy businessmen, more recently, the average tourist has become a target for kidnappers looking for monetary and material gain. In recent years, kidnappers have also become more organized and are demanding more money for the safe return of hostages.

Use the comments feature to indicate five fictitious errors in the paragraph.
