Close Word Comments Easily

If you don't like how precisely you must mouse in Microsoft Word 2008 to delete comment balloons, note that you can Control-click (right-click) a balloon to pop up a contextual menu. From the menu choose Delete Comment, and you're done.

Also, to get rid of all comments at once, choose Tools > Customize Keyboard and set up a keyboard shortcut to go with the DeleteAllComments command, available in the Tools category. Oddly, there's no Delete Comment keyboard customization option that I can find.

Adam Speaking at NY City Area User Groups This Week -- On Thursday, 13-Feb-03 at 6:30 PM, I'll be speaking at the monthly MetroMac meeting at New York University, and on Friday, 14-Feb-03 at the Long Island Macintosh Users Group (LIMac) at the New York Institute of Technology. At both meetings I'll be talking about the most interesting products and events from Macworld Expo in San Francisco and answering questions about wireless networking, iPhoto 2, and anything else people want to ask. I should have signed copies of my books to raffle off, and I'll be happy to sign copies you already have. And yes, since Friday is Valentine's Day, that meeting will be a family affair: Tonya and Tristan are coming to the LIMac meeting. Directions to the meeting locations for both are on the groups' Web sites. [ACE]
