Word won't let me type a more than a few words in the Comment fie.

[Elsa B.]

I work with Track Changes turned on, in the Normal view; so I work without
balloons. Ninety percent of the time, when I'm typing text in the comment
field, Word stops taking text and the comment I'm working on disappears until
I click in the document and type a character (and then delete it). Then the
comment reappears, and I can type a few more characters in the comment field
before the same thing happens. Needless to say, this is very frustrating and
time consuming.

My advice would be to try installing an updated graphics card driver.
