WORD toolbar suggestions

I frequently convert PDF e-books to WORD for the convenience of reading documents containing illustrations, equations, and footnotes.

To avoid disrupting the flow by reading footnotes and equations I often manually wrap them with comment tags {{// ....}}
Then to read a footnote I highlight and 'read highlighted'

I also use bookmarks to mark my place in the text.

I think it would be very convenient if the facility to insert comments and bookmarks were included with the WORD toolbar.
For footnotes it would be nice to highlight the relevant text and then use th right click mouse menu to wrap with the comment tag.

For bookmarks the ability to search for bookmarks would also be convenient.

I also find that figure descriptions are often included in text boxes which are ignored by TA3, which can be a little frustrating.
It would be good if TA could read text boxes.

These are just suggestions to improve an already superb reading tool! :D

Thanks Dave, I added these suggestions to our to do list. The text boxes are a known problem, hopefully we'll figure out how to get that working in a future build.
