Before you start
Give reviewers a comment list that includes the original passage. Classic comment ranges are reconstructed across runs and paragraphs, including overlapping comments. The original document is preserved; outputs are text, JSON and spreadsheet-safe CSV.
How to use this tool
- Choose the local DOCX.
- Review each comment's author, selected text and paragraph context.
- Download the full JSON, CSV and text reports.
Supported inputs and limits
One DOCX up to 20 MiB, 64 MiB expanded content and 5,000 comments; output comment/context text is limited to 8 MiB and reports to 20 MiB each.
Classic main-document comments, including tables and point comments. Modern threads, tracked changes, fields, text boxes and unsupported anchoring fail explicitly. Paragraph/offset coordinates describe logical text in UTF-16 code units, with paragraph separators; they do not identify rendered page positions.
Worked example
Example input
Two overlapping comments spanning Unicode text and two paragraphs.
Example options
{}Example output
2 comments with exact selected passages, author and paragraph context.
When something does not work
Use classic comments in an intact DOCX without tracked changes or threads. Fix broken anchors or export a supported copy, then rerun.
Frequently asked questions
Are overlapping comments supported?
Each comment range is tracked independently, including ranges spanning paragraphs.
What does an empty selected passage mean?
Point comments have an empty anchor. Their paragraph context and point position remain available; missing or broken anchors are errors.
