Re: How can I change the default font setting for the markup/ comments balloons?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Oh, this is not intuitive at all. But I'm no programmer--use Help | Send Feedback in Word to complain to MS. This is how it works:

The style Balloon Text controls the font of the prefix (Comment:) and the size of the entire thing.

The style Comment Text controls the font of the text you type after Comment:, but has no impact on the size no matter what you do.

So to get exactly what you want, you need to adjust both those styles.

Are you finding that you need to repeat this in every student document? I just wrote (I think) an AppleScript to make the changes in one click, to speed that up.

It's still behaving strangely. I tried doing exactly that, and the text is bigger in this document. But it isn't the font I picked. I can live with it, but it seems I'm not really in control of what the software is doing. At least this time, the font is big enough to see. That is a relief.

Yes, the apply button was causing problems, too.

Seems to me this could be programed to be a bit more intuitive. :-)

thanks!
