is there a way to use the Insert + quick parts within comments?
Please disable modern comments via going to Word > Options > General, clear the checkbox of 'Enable modern comments' > OK
, then restart Word to have a check.
(This setting is temporary and will be removed in the future.)
I suggest you vote up the similar thread 'Make Quick Parts work in Modern Comments' in Microsoft Feedback community.
This way, you can help Microsoft engineers have a better visibility on what issues that you’re experiencing with Office product and which features are most important to you.
Thanks for your understanding.
