That color is set by the "Comments color" dropdown in the Track
Changes options dialog. You may have that set to the purple color
(actually a faded shade of the "dark blue" choice), or it may be set
to "By author" which means Word gets to choose. You can choose yellow
if that's what you prefer.

Getting closer but still not there. I was able to modify it to make the font
larger, but the background stays purple even though I change it in the style
to yellow. Here is the latest picture.

Thanks,

JF OK, for once the picture helps to clarify what you're asking.

JF The comment balloon contains things in two different styles. The word
JF "Comment" and your initials are in Balloon Text style (which it shares
JF with the first part of any Track Changes balloon you might also have).
JF The part of the comment that you type will be in Comment Text style.
