Default text direction in Comments balloon

How strange!

Just to be clear, are you looking at *paragraph* styles for text direction?
Comment Text and Balloon Text? I can't test it myself since I have never
looked at a Hebrew document.

I've been asked to comment (in English) on a document written (in
English) by an Israeli scholar (in Word2007 Compatibility Mode, it's
a .doc file). The Comment balloons are in right-to-left mode (as for
typing Hebrew), which makes the text (as well as the introductory
labeling, which it would be nice to do without) hug the right edge.

I can change the text direction in each paragraph individually with
the button on the Home tab, but the Text Direction buttons in the
Modify Style panel are grayed out. I can't find a text direction
setting for the whole document.

How do I make the Comments left-to-right by default?
