If you use comments in your documents, Word allows you to print a comment list to use as a reference. The user can do this by utilizing the Print What drop-down list in the Print dialog box (Word 2007) or by adjusting the print settings (Word 2010 and Word 2013). To accomplish the same task in a VBA macro, use the PrintOut method, as follows:
ActiveDocument.PrintOut Item:=wdPrintComments
