Good day carlosfpardo,
I am just wondering if this addresses your issue by logging in to your Dropbox account on the web browser and click this link : https://www.dropbox.com/account/connected_apps . Under "Default Editing Apps" , you can select how you’d like each file type to open in Dropbox, like with Word docs if you want to " view in Dropbox.com" or " open word for the web" . If you try each of the options and compare the difference, you can choose which option works with what you intend to look like or happen . I was hoping I can insert a screenshot here so you will see what I am trying to explain, however my pc is not allowing me for now. Hope this helps somehow. Cheers!
Thanks Rogaa. You're kind to try and help, but in case you meant to reply to me (not the previous post) you misunderstood my question. The issue is that comments made on Dropbox.com on a word document - when not commenting within MS Word - can apparently not be integrated back into Word for future work/editing, but comments remain only visible on Dropbox.com. This is because Dropbox allows users to add comments to documents on Dropbox.com in a framework that is outside the Microsoft Word environment.
