    Sorry, hit the send too fast. Because if you do mean in the comment ballon itself....uh, gee have you tried typing normally? Type a line, press the Enter key, and type the second line, press Enter, type the third line. Works like a charm....

    Gerry,

    What im doing is highlighting a line of text, and adding a comment to it,

    hitting enter does not work using that method (Word2000)

    Cheers

    Hi Gibbo,

    The popup tooltip-like text of comments does not reproduce line breaks (on any version of Word). The comments in the comments pane or in the balloons of later versions do all reproduce them, as does printing. So it all depends on how you look at your comments (providing you put the line breaks in, of course).
    Enjoy,
    Tony

    Ah, that is why I asked if it was for balloons. I did not know about no line breaks in the popups, as I do not use them. That is what I get for not asking about the version being used.

    Hi,

    Perhaps you could post a sample of the comment you had in mind? So we can see what you mean.
