Delete All Comments in Word in a Flash

You needn't clear comments in a Word document one by one. Instead, bring out the big guns to delete all of them at once:

1. Chose Tools > Keyboard Shortcuts.

2. Under Categories, select Tools.

3. Under Commands, select DeleteAllCommentsInDoc.

4. With the insertion point in the "Press new keyboard shortcut" field, press keys to create a keyboard shortcut. (I use Control-7)

5. Click the Assign button.

6. Click OK.

You can now press your keyboard shortcut to zap out the comments.

The steps above work in Word 2008; they likely work nearly as described in older versions of Word.

Norton Utilities 3.2

by Geoff Duncan Send Email to Author

Norton Utilities 3.2 -- Symantec Corporation has announced the availability of Norton Utilities 3.2 for Macintosh, which enables the disk-recovery and protection package to operate on volumes up to two terabytes in size. (System 7.5.2 supports volumes that large; earlier systems only support volumes 2 GB or 4 GB in size.) Symantec notes that support for volumes larger than 4 GB is the only change in version 3.2, and unless you use volumes larger than 4 GB there's no need to upgrade from Norton Utilities 3.1. For people who need the update, Symantec will send disks for $10 plus shipping and handling, but has no plans to make an updater available online. Updates from versions of Norton Utilities before 3.1 cost $39.95. [GD]
