Step1

After opening up the document you will need to first save it under a different name. That way you will have an undocumented copy to go back and work on later if you prefer. Click on the office button in the upper left corner and click on save as...word document.

Step2

Next find the review tab along the top, towards the right side. Click on the button that says 'Track Changes' and the third one down that says "Change user name". It is important to click here first and be sure that it has the name and initials you want to show on the document. Click okay.

Step3

Now it is time to add comments. Find a section that you want to comment on. Highlight the section (holding in your left button while dragging across the exact text you want to select). Click on the button that says 'New Comment'. It should highlight the text with a new color and parenthesis and have a new bubble out to the side. In here you type whatever comment that you would like. When you are finished with the one comment click back in the text and then you are ready to move on to the next comment.

Step4

When you are finished you can go back and forth between comments by clicking on the previous or next buttons. You can also delete a comment by clicking on the specific comment and clicking the delete button.
Make sure to save your comments before you are finished.
