Hello, Jay!
You wrote on Sun, 02 Oct 2005 23:58:42 -0400: This sounds logical and easy, but... I can not make any of the comment styles change my style box or size or color or font. Here is the current view I'm trying to change, FWIW. Thanks, Colonel Blip. E-mail: JF On Sun, 2 Oct 2005 20:25:02 -0500, "Colonel Blip" JF wrote: JF Modify the style named Comment Text. |

OK, for once the picture helps to clarify what you're asking.
The comment balloon contains things in two different styles. The word "Comment" and your initials are in Balloon Text style (which it shares with the first part of any Track Changes balloon you might also have). The part of the comment that you type will be in Comment Text style. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Colonel Blip wrote: Hello, Jay!

Hello, Jay!

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, Colonel Blip.

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. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Mon, 3 Oct 2005 19:10:10 -0500, "Colonel Blip" wrote: Hello, Jay!
