Delete All Comments in Word in a Flash

You needn't clear comments in a Word document one by one. Instead, bring out the big guns to delete all of them at once:

1. Chose Tools > Keyboard Shortcuts.

2. Under Categories, select Tools.

3. Under Commands, select DeleteAllCommentsInDoc.

4. With the insertion point in the "Press new keyboard shortcut" field, press keys to create a keyboard shortcut. (I use Control-7)

5. Click the Assign button.

6. Click OK.

You can now press your keyboard shortcut to zap out the comments.

The steps above work in Word 2008; they likely work nearly as described in older versions of Word.

Here are a few more podcasts for your listening pleasure. In MacNotables 811 and 812, Ted Landau and I chatted with Chuck Joiner about the effects that the iPhone SDK will have, why Apple will likely remain dominant in the world of MP3 players, and lots more.

Then I joined Gene Steinberg on The Tech Night Owl Live to talk about the latest updates to the MacBook and MacBook Pro, what's going on with Eudora, and the recent release of Brian Tanaka's "Take Control of Permissions in Leopard." (My segment starts about halfway through.)
