'Want to display notification in Task pane in Word using VBA
I have coded a VBA macro that notifies me whenever a new comment has been added to a document using a MsgBox.
I now require that no notification should be in the form of a MsgBox but are displayed in a task pane by clicking on the custom button(Comment Notifier) on the ribbon of word.
Can you suggest me way to do this?

First of all, you need to migrate your existing VBA solution to the add-in rails. There is no way to create a task pane from VBA. The Walkthrough: Create your first VSTO Add-in for Word article explains how to get started quickly. After adding all event handlers to the add-in you may add a task pane to the add-in project, see How to: Add a custom task pane to an application for more information.
Finally, the Walkthrough: Synchronize a custom task pane with a Ribbon button explains how to automate a task pane by clicking on the ribbon button, so you just need to replace the source code a bit and display a notification on the task pane instead.
