can you remove only "resolved" comments in Word 2016?
If not I don't really see the point of the new "resolve" functionality. I'd like to save an internal version of the document showing all "resolved" comments, but then delete all resolved comments before sending outside my organization. all I see is the
option to delete all comments in the document.
The function you want isn't built into the Word program, but it's possible to do it with a small macro. Install the following (see
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed) and add a button to the Quick Access Toolbar to run it.
Sub DeleteResolvedComments()
Dim indx As Long
Dim cmt As Comment
For indx = ActiveDocument.Comments.Count To 1 Step -1
Set cmt = ActiveDocument.Comments(indx)
If cmt.Done Then cmt.DeleteRecursively
Next indx
End Sub
Put the cursor anywhere in the document that contains the comments, and click the button to run the macro.
