Re: Word 2013 - Comments grayed out

[Guillaume Tourrette <guillaume -dot- tourrette -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Chris,

As you found out, Word does not allow you to add comments on a text box. If
you must be able to comment, you can use frames instead of text boxes.

To add frames in Word 2010/2013, on the "Developer" tab, in the "Controls"
group, select "Legacy Tools", then click "Insert Frame".

Hope this helps!

Guillaume
