Hi, I currently using Word 2003. I want to be able to pull out all the data from "Reviewing Pane" in Word. So i can put together a document containing all comments made by all reviewers.
Is there a way to do this? Maybe an existing VBA script? Or any idea that can help me put together such document?
Thanks a lot...

Save it as a RTF file. Open it with notepad and see if those items are in the RTF. Now you only need to write a stripper for that.
You do write code?

hi, i don't understand what you mean.. how does saving in RTF help me pull out all the comments from the "Reviewing Pane"?
By exporting the file as RTF it becomes readable "text" and then we can write code to do what you ask. You answered my question about programming in a round about way. But if I'm wrong just tell me.
Bob
when i open the RTF in notepad and i see a bunch of non-understandable text.. you mean parse this file?
thanks
There are RTF parsers out there and a programmer would find them. For now we are only interested in seeing if the comments survived. I would tap F3 and search for a word unique to the comment.
Sadly I think you need to abandon this method since you are not a programmer and I don't code for free here.
-> Take a look at WORDPIPE to see if it will extract comments.
