How to enable markup in Microsoft Word

You can enable and disable what markup is shown in Microsoft Word by clicking the Review tab and selecting the "Show Markup" option and check or uncheck the markup you want to view.

Under Balloons, you can view the markup in balloons on the edge of the document or inline.

Tip

If you have a lot of different reviewers, click Reviewers and select only the reviewers that interest you.

Note

If a document is marked as final, editing and markup is not visible.

2. Markup is a code, name, or tag used to define the layout or style of how a text is displayed. For example, with HTML (HyperText Markup Language) that creates web pages on the Internet the <b></b> tag (markup) bolds text on a page. See our markup language page for a full definition of markup languages and examples of other markup languages.

3. When dealing with a price or money, a markup is an increase in price from the original retail cost. The higher the mark up the more money (margin) the retailer makes when selling each unit with a mark up.
