Default How do I change line spacing in comment balloons?

The style Balloon Text has some effect on text in balloons (comments as well
as insertions/deletions).

The font itself can be changed, but font size and line spacing affect only
what you see in the Reviewing Pane (at least in Word 2007 and Word 2003).
But, I don't quite understand why dnover is seeing double-spaced in
bubbles. I see only single spacing there.

As far as I can tell, if there is a style for Deleted and Inserted text,
it is not accessible. You are limited to the options provided in Track
Changes Options.

You need to find the list of All Styles Used in your Document (you get
at it differently in the different versions of Word), and you'll find
one called Comment. Right-click on it, choose Modify, and make your
changes as in any other style.

"track

single). I
would think that one could simply insert the cursor in the bubble and use
the
usual paragraph format menu, but that does not work.
I would also like to change the style in the bubbles that appear for text
alterations, e.g., Deleted and Formatted. Thanks for any suggestions.
