Default formatting comment's background color

EditComment

Right-click on Comment Border and Format Comment

Choose the color you want.

To change the default InsertComment background color requires you go into
WindowsAppearance Settings.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for more specifics on Comments.

Note she has some code for formatting Comments backgrounds.

How does one format the background color of a comment. I inherited a
spreadsheet recently, and the existing comments have a yellow background and
mine have white.

I want to change the yellow background to white to match the rest of the
comments.

(I know I could delete and re-create the yellow-background comments, but it
seems so inefficient.)
