Macro to summarize comments

[G.R. Toro]

Hi,

I have a large Word document, where I have added a number of comments using
the comment feature (I use Word XP). I would like to know if anyone has
writen vba to summarize those comments.

The macro I envision would create a new document that would contain the
comments, together with some way to preserve their context (such as the
affected paragraph together with some indication of which page the paragraph
came from). Ideally, this macro would do the same with changes introduced
with "track changes" feature.

Has anyone written such a macro? Any pointers on how to do it?

Thanks,

Gabriel

Hi,

Any pointers on how to do it?

well, probably the most important thing, you need,
is the reference property of "comment".
Like:
Dim oCmm As Comment
For Each oCmm In ActiveDocument.Range.Comments
MsgBox oCmm.Reference.Words(1)
MsgBox oCmm.Reference.Paragraphs(1).Range.Text
MsgBox oCmm.Reference.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber)
MsgBox oCmm.Range.Text
'... etc
Next
As far as tracked changes are concerned,
I'd expect, you would collect all kinds
of single inserted or deleted letters,
spaces or punctuation signs.
