SYMPTOMS

In Word 97, if you add a comment to a Word version 6.0 or 7.0 document and that document already contains comments (annotations) that were inserted by another reviewer and you browse through the comments using the Next or Previous Comment buttons, Word does not browse through the document properly.

NOTE: The Next and Previous Comment buttons are located on either the Reviewing toolbar or in the Edit Go To dialog box.

WORKAROUND

This problem does not occur in documents created in Word 97. To work around this problem, recreate the Word version 6.0 or 7.0 document in Word 97.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
