SYMPTOMS
When you change a Microsoft Word document, the markup balloons that describe these changes may not appear in the document as expected. For example, the balloons are removed when they are positioned at the bottom of the document window.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur when many markup balloons of different types appear in the document.

Markup balloons of different types cannot be combined. When there are more markup balloons than can be displayed on a page, you cannot see the markup balloons at the bottom of the page.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Show only certain markup balloons
Configure Microsoft Word to display only certain types of markup balloons. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) In Microsoft Office Word 2003 and earlier versions, on the Reviewing toolbar, click Show.

Note In Microsoft Office Word 2007, on the Review tab, click Show Markup in the Tracking group.
 * 1) On the drop-down menu, click to clear the check box of the markup type that you do not want displayed.

Example: To display only Comments and Formatting markup balloons, click to select both the Comments and the Formatting check boxes, and then click to clear the Insertions and Deletions check box.

Method 2: Use the Reviewing Pane
To display the Reviewing Pane in Word 2003 and earlier versions, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then select Reviewing.
 * 2) On the Reviewing toolbar, on the Show menu, click Reviewing Pane.

To display the Reviewing Pane in Word 2007, on the Review tab, click Reviewing Pane in the Tracking group.
