Default How do I format Balloon text in Word 2007?

Are you saying that neither method works?

Yes, I'm familiar with that process too b/c I 've done this with Word

2003.
It's supposed to be easier in 07 b/c a pop-up toolbar becomes visable

when
you right click in the comment balloon. That's where the styles can

be
altered, but try changing the comment font to, for example, Times New

Roman
12 or 14. What happens? Yes, Bill still gets richer by the minute,

but I
don't get TNR 14!!

thanks for your help

It's not a review option. You need to modify the paragraph styles.

Since I'm
not using Word 2007 yet, I can't tell you the exact steps,

unfortunately. If
you are familiar with the Styles and Formatting task pane of Word

2002/2003,
you should be able to locate something similar (the Styles pane?) in

Word
2007. From there you'll be able to alter the styles.

I know the process, but when I do it, there is no effect. I

can
select the
text in the balloon or I can try to format the text before I

type
within the
balloon, but when using the Pop-Up mini toolbar, the change

has no
effect on
the text. Also, I can't change the default balloon font and

size for
future
documents. Agian, I know the process, but there is no effect.

Thanks
Bill
for a newer version of the same old problems.
