I've checked all my settings in the review section and tried changing the view of my word document, some things help temporarily but not permanently. The marks indicating a comment has been inserted are there and I can see the text in the comment bubble if I have the editing panel open at the bottom of the word document, but the bubbles themselves don't show up on the side of the word document as they usually do. They are definitely still there and I can type in them, they just aren't visible on the screen. Every now and again, in a particular section of my word document, the word bubbles I'm writing in disappear and I can't make them reappear unless I change the settings from "original with markup" to "original" and back again, then they briefly reappear until I start trying to type in the comment bubbles again. I'm trying to annotate a word document with lots of comment bubbles.
