Hi trueocean, here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:
- Refresh the Page:
- Clear Browser Cache:
- Clear your browser’s cache and cookies, then attempt to open the file again in the Dropbox preview.
- Try a Different Browser:
- Switch to a different web browser (like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge) to see if the issue persists.
- Download the File:
- Since you're unable to view comments in the web viewer, download the .docx file to your computer. Open it in Microsoft Word to see if the comments appear there. Ensure you're using the desktop version of Word.
- Check for Updates:
- Make sure your web browser and any software you're using to open the file are updated to the latest versions.
- Access Comments via Dropbox:
- If you can’t see the comments in the Word document, try accessing the comments directly through Dropbox:
- Click on the comment icon on the Dropbox page (if available) to see the comments without needing to open the document.
Hi JohnnyDogman. Thank you for the tips! I tried all of them, but unfortunately, none solved the problem.
