comment balloons - highlight all?

In older versions of Word, sections with comments were highlighted, by default, and you could quickly read over text and see what each comment was about without clicking on anything.  Now, for some reason comment balloons show up just fine, but I can't tell what the comment relates to unless I click on each comment.  This is very inefficient for me.  Is there any way to get all the comments to show the highlighted area by default?

On the Review tab, click the arrow on the Display for Review drop down (located in the Tracking group), and change the option from Simple Markup to All Markup. You will see highlighted comment ranges and connector lines as in previous versions of Word.
