WD: Choosing Reviewer for View Annotations Wrong in Macro

ID: Q110450

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

Microsoft Word allows you to view annotations by selected reviewers. The feature is not recorded properly by the macro recorder.

For example, when you select All Reviewers (the default) in the Reviewers box at the top of the annotation pane, the macro recorder produces the following macro: 

   Sub MAIN
      ViewAnnotations
   End Sub
This is incorrect, the WordBasic code should be as follows: 

   Sub MAIN
      ViewAnnotations
      ShowAnnotationBy "All Reviewers"
   End Sub

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the above listed versions. This problem was corrected in Word 97 for Windows and Word 98 Macintosh Edition.
