Millions of teachers and students use Microsoft Word to create and edit documents. Word includes sophisticated editing tools like Track Changes and Comments. But Word's basic tools fall short in some areas, and can be greatly enhanced to help make teachers more effective and efficient - both at creating better feedback and saving paper.

Annotate for Word is a simple (but mighty!) add-in for Microsoft Word 2000/2003/XP, Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac (sorry, no Word 2008), and Microsoft Word 2007/2010. Annotate improves and unifies Word's basic commenting features as well as adding custom buttons for frequent comments.

Annotate for Word is free.

Annotate for Word PRO takes feedback to a new level.

How do you use Annotate for Word?

Annotate for Word PRO includes over 70 pre-written comments in Argument, Evidence, Organization, Writing Style, and Grammar/Mechanics. Detailed comments on MLA and APA citation styles are included.Teachers can easily create their own assignment-specific text and add it to a document with two clicks. Versions are available for all major releases of Microsoft Word with the exception of Word for Mac Office 2008.

The result? Better, crisper, more detailed feedback with built-in

links to additional resources that students can use to improve.
