Changing the Comments Balloon Color in Microsoft Word 2003
Recently I was reviewing a report in Microsoft Word and adding comments and suggestions. The comment balloons were blue but I wanted to change them to red. It took me a while to figure out how this is done, but it’s easy once you know how.
From the top toolbar in Word, click on Tools -> Options -> Track Changes tab. Then under the Markup section, simply change the Comments color to whatever you desire. See the screen shot below:

Thanks a bunch. This was really helpful.

Comment by woullard lett — September 28, 2008 @ 6:41 amSorry, I’m afraid it is not possible to change certain comments, only all comments. U may wish to try changing the font or highlighting it. I love word 2007 but its still missing a few features.
P.S. the quick access toolbar can help you speed things up rather than having to click through the ribbons if its something like cropping
