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,
Tony

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?
