Comments disappeared - HELP

Post by emmakseery »

Hi everyone

Drafted a document with 50 comments (bubbles) none of which have saved.

I've tried to start a new doc, add comments, and save - same thing happened.

Any advice on how to retrieve my work and/or avoid this problem in future please??

End... of.... my.... tether....

Thanks
Emma

1. Which file format did you save in?

2. Can you check in File > Properties > Reviewing if just the display of comments is turned off?

3. Can you provide a sample document?

I created a sample file with some comments in it and saved it in the following file formats:
- docx (MS Word 2007)
- doc (MS Word 2003)
- tmd (TextMaker 2016)
- tmdx (TextMaker 2018)

None of these files lost it's comments after re-opening in TextMaker. Could you please send us a sample file to forum(at)softmaker.com?

FYI

I have also tested with new documents and it's saving comments now

I did nothing differently with the document I sent to you where they did not save though. And all other changes in the doc are saved.

Could you please post here a file where this happens and provide us with a step-by-step procedure so we can try to reproduce the issue?
