To add written comments to something (like a document or online text), the basic idea is always the same: select what you want to comment on, trigger the comment tool, then type your note.

Meaning of “add written comments to”

The phrase usually means:

  • Attaching a short note or remark to existing text, images, or a section.
  • Doing this without changing the original content directly.
  • Often used for feedback, review, or collaboration in documents, PDFs, and online forums.

Common places you might “add written comments to”:

  • Word documents (for editing/review).
  • Google Docs (team collaboration).
  • PDFs (reviewing contracts, reports).
  • Forum posts or news articles (public discussion).

Example: comments in Word

In Microsoft Word, you can add written comments to any part of your document as review notes.

Basic steps:

  • Select the word, sentence, or paragraph you want to comment on.
  • Go to the Review tab and click New Comment.
  • Type your comment in the balloon that appears in the margin.

Useful extras:

  • Keyboard shortcut: select text and press Ctrl + Alt + M to add a comment.
  • You can edit, reply to, or delete comment threads from the same margin balloons.
  • Comments can be shown/hidden or navigated using Previous/Next in the Review tab.

Example: comments in Google Docs

In Google Docs, comments are used for threaded discussion and suggestions around parts of the text.

How it works:

  • Highlight the text you want to comment on.
  • Click the comment icon (a speech bubble with a plus) in the toolbar, or use Insert → Comment.
  • Type your comment and click Comment to post it.

Collaboration features:

  • Others can reply to your comment, creating a mini conversation.
  • Comments can be resolved and hidden once the issue is fixed.

Example: comments in PDFs (Acrobat)

In PDF tools like Adobe Acrobat, you can add written comments to text, images, or areas of a page.

Typical ways:

  • Use sticky note or callout tools to place a small text note on the page.
  • Highlight text and attach a text comment to that highlight.
  • Add shapes or drawing markups (arrows, boxes) with associated text.

You can also:

  • Change comment colors and styles for different types of feedback.
  • Edit, group, or delete comments from the comment list.

If you meant “add comments to a forum/news post”

On most forums or news sites, to add written comments to a post you usually:

  • Scroll to the comment box under the article or thread.
  • Log in or create an account if required.
  • Type your comment and submit it (sometimes with reply/quote buttons to attach it to a specific message).
