How To Change Font In Comments Text

Bright Spark

In Word 2003, can someone please direct me as to how to change the
font within the Comment text? I never noticed before, but it's
different than my regular text default font.

Thanks very much for any help.

Modify the Comment Text style. You will need to modify Balloon Text as well
if you're displaying the comments in balloons.

Thank you very much, Suzanne - I sure wouldn't have thought of "style"
on my own. I don't think I'll ever get used to MS Word, but I keep on
trucking!

By any chance did you happen to see my previous post from a day or so
ago regarding how to turn off the "auto-fix" command (I call it that
only because I don't know which one it is!) to stop it fixing capital
THE to The and teh to the and stuff like that? I didn't get any
replies on that post and I'm wondering if it maybe didn't make it into
the group?

Thanks again.

I don't recall seeing that post, but you can disable AutoCorrection
entirely, if you so choose, from Tools | AutoCorrect Options. Alternatively,
you can remove specific AutoCorrect entries or disable specific types of
correction (such as capitalizing the first letter of sentences).

I actually have disabled all specific types of corrections, but for
some reason it still wants to change THE to The when I am typing a
sentence in all caps! It's just a "know-it-all" I guess! :eek:))

I had not realized, however, that there were a bunch of AutoCorrect
entries that I had not myself entered, so now I know where some of
that other "ghost in the machine" is coming from. Is it possible to
look at a list of all AutoCorrect entries just as I can for the Custom
Dictionary? Where would I find that?

Thanks again for all your help.

Word MVP Tony Jollans has actually created a macro that provides a list of
AutoCorrect entries, either the ones you have added or the built-in ones, or
both. The macro is supplied in an ACLUtility.dot add-in, which I had thought
he might have posted at his Web site, http://www.wordarticles.com/, but I
don't see it. Perhaps he'll chime in here with more info.
