It is impossible of find the document I am seeking and all I am getting is a WASTE OF MY TIME!!! The website is incredibly difficult to navigate!!!!! I don't think I am getting much value for the money I spent to print just one document!!! After this horrible experience SUPPORT STAFF was able to assist me in accessing the necessary document and getting it filled out to me the deadline. SUPPORT STAFF is very knowledgeable and were able to resolve the problem quickly!!! Count me a happy customer!!!

Great help Great help, good program, but too expensive after the trial period. Also you have to contact the support to cancel the subscription, but that's reasonable since it's very active

I needed to use the service for an application! It was only needed once. The day I was going to cancel it due to no longer needing the service the money had already come out of my account. They immediately refunded it and even offered a discount if I wanted to continue using it. I highly recommend it was an easy to use service with many benefits packed in. Customer support replies quickly and they are very professional.

The purpose of highlighting is to draw attention to important information in a text. Effective highlighting is effective because it first asks the reader to pick out the important parts, and then gives an effective way to review that information later.
Underline important terms. Circle definitions and meanings. Write keywords and definitions in the margin. Signal where important information can be found with keywords or symbols in the margin.
Highlight the text that you need to annotate in Word by clicking and dragging to select a word or series of words. In Word 2003, click the Insert menu and choose “Comment.” In Word 2007 or 2010, click “New Comment” in the Comments section of the Review tab. Type out your comment and press the ESC key to close it.
Click the Review tab from the Ribbon (toolbar) at the top of the screen. Select the text you wish to comment or place the text cursor where you want the comment to appear. Click the New Comment button from the toolbar. Type your comment in the comment bubble that appears.
To use inking in Word 2016, go to the Review tab and click on the Start inking icon. When you do that, Word will display a Pens tab, similar to the one shown in the previous figure. You can use this tab to choose ink color, pen thickness, etc. Inking is a little more straightforward in Word Mobile.
Annotations are comments, notes, explanations, or other types of external remarks that can be attached to a Web document or to a selected part of a document. As they are external, it is possible to annotate any Web document independently, without needing to edit the document itself.
