Hi Charles,

The print to file method might work if you have installed the 'generic/text' Windows printer, but wouldn't be limited to just the
comments if there was other markup.

Without using a macro, which could probably make quick work of this, you can use the Review tab to turn on the reviewing pane with
the Office clipboard from the home tab. With the Office clipboard active select each commment (Word doesn't appear to allow copying
all of the comments at one time) , right click and choose copy, then in Excel open the Office clipboard and use Paste All.

You may want to also post this in the Word VBA discussion group using the link below for a macro approach.
