Posted by admin on November 28th, 2009 and filed under post it notes | 3 Comments »

I am adding comments to students work in eportfolios and need to write comments for their reference that they can read and consider and then erase.

It’s not quite Post-It® Notes, but Word has a built-in commenting feature under Track Changes. Try this:

In Word versions prior to Word 2007 (Vista):

1.Right-click in the menu area and select the Reviewing toolbar.
2. Click where you want to add a comment.
3. On the Reviewing toolbar click the third button from the right to add the comment.

In Word 2007:

1.Click the Review tab on the Ribbon.
2.Position the cursor where you want the new comment to go.
3. Click the New Comment button

That should do it.

    I think 3m’s post it notes have that facility. I’ll check to see if I have a link for you, because I do have them on my pc.

    Keep it simple, Use Insert, comment, by right button of mouse where you want to add the comment, down to insert comment and type your comment then right button of mouse, show comment so that it is displayed all the time. Another way would be to put it into track and review mode so you can type your comments which will go into a balloon in the right margin. I use the track and review when marking my learners’ work.
