SYMPTOMS
When you press SHIFT+F3 to change the case of text that has been commented, the yellow shading may disappear. Also, when you rest the mouse over the comment, you do not see the ScreenTip for the comment. If non-formatting characters are hidden, all visual cues identifying the location of your comment disappear, but the comment is retained.

NOTE: This behavior also occurs when you use the Change Case command on the Format menu and select any of the options except Sentence case.



WORKAROUND
Because the shading used by the comment functionality is a special shading that is not visible when your file is printed or previewed, do not apply highlighting to the comment unless you want the highlight to be printed.

Although changing the case removes the shading, the comment is retained. To view comments, click Comments on the View menu. To see the comment reference marks, click the Show/Hide button on the standard toolbar. Or click Preferences on the Edit menu, click the View tab, click to select the Hidden text check box in the Nonprinting characters section, and then click OK.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
