After struggling to install this version after the 0x0 error, I now find that I can't make a comment.

Word registers a symbol of my moniker but no comment pane or inline comment shows up. (In Markup Options, "Comments" is checked, and "Show All Revisions Inline" chosen in Reviewing>Balloons

Commenting is a necessity in my editing process.

    If you can install 16.84, you should be able to update to 16.89, which may be the final version you can run. Please choose Help>Check for Updates. After installing, check to see whether the problem is resolved.
