formating comments

D

Debra Dalgleish

You can change the font size and colour of new comments
(but not the font) by changing the settings in your Control Panel.
(Instructions for Windows XP)

1. Right-click on the desktop, and choose Properties
2. On the Appearance tab, click Advanced.
3. From the Item dropdown, choose Tooltip
4. Choose a font Size, click OK, click OK

Note -- this will also affect your Tooltips formatting

Or, you can use a macro to insert a comment with a specific font
and format:

Sub CommentAddOrEditTNR()
'adds TimesNewRoman comment or positions
'cursor at end of existing comment text
Dim cmt As Comment
Set cmt = ActiveCell.Comment
If cmt Is Nothing Then
ActiveCell.AddComment text:=""
Set cmt = ActiveCell.Comment
With cmt.Shape.TextFrame.Characters.Font
.Name = "Times New Roman"
.Size = 11
.Bold = False
.ColorIndex = 0
End With
End If
SendKeys "%ie~"
End Sub
