How to Delete Comments in Word (or Hide Comments) in 1 MIN (HD 2020)
The ability to leave comments on a Word document is essential when collaborating with others on the file, but eventually those comments must be removed or managed. In Microsoft Word, you either remove the comments or resolve the comments.
Deleting a comment removes it from the document forever. Resolving a comment marks it as closed but leaves a record of the comment. If you are using a version of Word older than Word 2016, comments can only be deleted.
When you're done with a comment and want to delete it, select it and click the Review tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen. On the Review tab, click Remove.
