To print a Microsoft Word document without comments, follow these straightforward steps:

1. Open your Word document.
2. Go to the File tab and select Print to open the print settings.
3. In the print settings area, locate the dropdown menu labeled Print All Pages or similar.
4. Click this dropdown and look for the option Print Markup.
5. Uncheck or disable Print Markup. This action hides all comments and tracked changes from the printout.
6. Review the print preview to confirm comments are no longer visible.
7. Click Print to print your document without comments.

Alternatively, you can also hide comments before printing by going to the Review tab, clicking Show Markup , and unchecking Comments. Then print normally. This method hides comments from view and print but keeps them in the document

. If you want to permanently remove comments before printing, you can delete all comments via Review > Delete > Delete All Comments in Document, but this removes them from the document itself

. Using the print settings to uncheck "Print Markup" is the simplest way to print without comments while keeping them in your file. This ensures a clean, professional-looking printed document free of distracting annotations
