Word File with Comments Freezes Runtime

[SamButterfield]

Whenever you try convert a docx with comments it freezes the script. Upon investigation it seems like there is some sort of pop-up about "Unsaved Comments" that is not handled, and the function call appears to run forever.

@SamButterfield From this answer on StackOverflow, it seems like there may be an easy way to delete all comments. It may be worth adding a flag --delete-all-comments to allow such documents to be converted

# Delete all comments
if word.ActiveDocument.Comments.Count >= 1:
    word.ActiveDocument.DeleteAllComments()
