Font size of Comment Text not changing
You're not likely to stumble over that one quickly. Thanks Suzanne.

I have learned that the font size of comments (and all other text)
appearing
in balloons is dependent on the font size set for Balloon Text. This is
doubly a bug, but at least it's an explanation.

Hi Suzanne,
I'm looking at the comments in the balloons.
I also want to add that when I insert a new comment, the formatting
style
shown is Comment Text. Which is how I'm sure I'm changing the font size
for
the correct style (i.e. not comment reference, etc.)

Are you looking for this change in the Reviewing pane or in the
balloons?

Tony,
I even modified my Comment Text to size 20 but it looks the same as
my
document text (Normal style). When I'm typing my comment text, I
can
see,
in
the toolbar, that the font size is 16. When I click within my
document,
among my Normal text, this toolbar shows font size 10. So it looks
like
it's
recognising my formatting changes...

A couple of simple questions just in case.
You say you have confirmed that your comment text is size 8 but
have
you
confirmed that your other text (which looks the same) is actually
size
10?
Are both comment and other text in the same font?
What does it look like if you set the comment text font size to
10?

Enjoy,

Frankly I don't know why this should be happening. It is not
normal
behaviour. May I suggest that you try renaming your normal.dot
file to
oldnormal.dot and (temporarily) remove any add-ins and see what
happens.

When I view the style in the Format Style toolbox, it looks
correct,
i.e. font size 8. I applied this same style "COmment Text" to
my
text but it still looks like it's font size 10. I've even
tried
"Clear Formatting" several times and applying the "Comment
Text"
style.

There are three styles associated with comments. Are you sure
you
edited the right one?
Comment Reference
Comment Subject
Comment Style
Select the comment text in question and see what the toolbar
style
display says is the style. With it selected you can edit it
using
format style.

I added some Comments to my document and formatted the Style
"Comment Text" to font size 8. The rest of my document uses
size
10. However, when I visually inspect my document, it looks
like
there is no difference in my Comment Text size and my
document
text
size, i.e. they both look Size 10. Can anybody provide an
explanation for this?
