balloon text in track changes
I don't use balloons, so I guessed that you would change the style. Before
offering this advice, I decided to try it and found that I can't even change the size of the text in the balloons at all. How do you do that? I found that no style is shown for the balloon text in track changes balloons, but that Comment Text is shown as the style in comment balloons. I could change that style, but it doesn't seem to make any change to what is actually shown! So, I did a Google search using the terms: word balloon text size I found http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...898291033.aspx which shows how to display the Balloon Text style. I modified that style (didn't just change the size in the balloon). To have this be permanent, you would save the change to your template(s), is my best guess. I've given this drawn out explanation rather than just point you to the site to give you some idea how someone experienced with some aspects of Word gets an answer that isn't already known and isn't one of the frequently asked questions.

As Charles has discovered, you have to modify both Balloon Text and Comment
Text styles, and you have to save the changes to your template (assumed to be Normal.dot) by checking the box for "Add to template" in the Modify Style dialog. -- Suzanne S.
