Report "Resolved comments" in Word 365 #9685

Description

@Qchristensen

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In Word 365, it is possible to mark comments as "resolved". Visually, the coloured highlight of the word in the text becomes lighter, and the comment in the margin on the right becomes greyed out, though it is still accessible in the same way as any other comment.

There is currently no easy way to tell with NVDA that the comment has been marked as resolved.

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally when navigating through the text, when NVDA reports "has comment", instead report "has resolved comment" for resolved comments.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The only way currently is to move the focus to the comment balloon itself, open the context menu and if there is a "reopen comment" then it is marked as resolved, if there is a "resolve comment" option, then it is not. To get to that, press:

alt+r, z, c, n. Then press the applications key to bring up the context menu.
