Microsoft Word's incredible Follow-up feature!

Have you ever been in a Word document and need to mark some sections for Follow-up? For example, a bulleted or numbered list where you need to come back and add some bullet points. Maybe you don't like the wording of a paragraph and want to follow-up on it later.

Microsoft **Word for the Web** now has you covered with this new, excellent follow-up feature. You can not only Mark items to follow up for yourself, but you can also use Word's at mentions for other people to follow-up. At Mentions are handy when you are sharing a Word document. Follow-ups show up in a yellow highlight.
