You might wonder, how can you collaborate on a project to do list in Microsoft Word with comments?
One of the advantages of your organization using Microsoft 365 is that you can collaborate on a project to-do list in Microsoft Word by using comments. Comments allow you to give feedback, ask questions, and collaborate with others on a document. To add a comment, select the text you want to comment on, then click on the Review tab and select New Comment. You can also use @mentions to tag specific people in your comments and assign tasks to them.
Here are the steps to add a comment and assign a task in Microsoft Word:
- Select the text you want to comment on.
- Click on the Review tab and select New Comment.
- Type your comment in the comment box.
- To assign a task, type @ followed by the person’s name you want to assign the task to. As you type various people you collaborate with from your organization should be auto-suggested.
- Select the checkbox next to Assign to and click Post.
The person you assigned the task to will receive an email notification, letting them know they need to take action. You can also view and reply to comments in the Comments pane on the right side of the screen.
I’ve used this method to get feedback from project team members and assign certain people to review verbiage in writing projects. It’s a very useful feature of Microsoft Word.
