I noticed something strange.

When I add a review comment using a macro code, a window opens with comments on the document below.

How can I disable this?

    I can reproduce what you see. The way I remember it, you should only see this happening if the document is NOT in Print Layout view, but now it does happen even in that view. Report this to Microsoft using the feedback facility (Help > Feedback).

    Selection.Comments.Add Range:=Selection.Range
    

    End Sub

    This is the code.

    Hello,

    To figure out I need to see the actual macro code you are running. Word usually pops open the comments pane at the bottom if you are not in Print Layout view or if you do not have margin balloons enabled but your VBA might also be directly telling the pane to open. Could you paste the code here so I can take a look?

    Also let me know what document view you are currently using when this happens like Print Layout or Draft.
