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.
