It’s the time of year for those on certain #MicrosoftWord releases to remember that you can still thankfully turn #ModernComments off by file>options>general, then untick box next to ‘enable modern comments’. Then restart Word.
Best explanation of why they are a pain is still @IvaCheung’s cartoon from 2021. https://ivacheung.com/2021/07/modern-comments/

So #Microsoft just forced me to "upgrade" my #OfficeSuite, and it is so irksome to have all these new flashy bells and whistles thrust upon me and none of the actual improvements that I could have suggested if they'd asked.

Like, why is there still no ability to personalize the default view in Word so I don't have to reset the zoom to 125% every day?

But thank the editing gods that at least I figured out how to turn off that miserable "#ModernComments feature.
