You can use the commenting feature in Google Drive to highlight and comment on Microsoft Word documents and on PDFs. One advantage of doing this in Google Drive is that you can easily share these files with others who can comment on them as well, even if they don't have Word.
When you leave a comment on Microsoft Office files, such as Word documents, the comments will still appear when you open the file in Microsoft Office.
NOTE: UW-Whitewater has Google Drive accounts arranged for current UW-W students, faculty, and staff using your full UW-W email address, e.g., warhawkww01@uww.edu, and Net-ID password.
When you leave a comment on Microsoft Office files, such as Word documents, the comments will remain until you resolve them.
