Make annotations a permanent part of your document

If you want to share the document with users who do not have Office Document Imaging and you want them to see the annotations, you can make annotations permanent in the open document only, or you can make annotations permanent each time you save a document.

Do one of the following:

Make annotations permanent in the open document

Make annotations permanent every time you save a document

Note  When you make annotations permanent, text that was added as an annotation will be recognized after you run optical character recognition (OCR).
