Changing the default format of comments
 
Dear Reader,

I am unable to remember how I changed the format of comments I add to cells.
Some comment windows automatically open with a larger area and larger font
size, while others are opening much smaller. It is time consuming to right
click and reformat each comment I enter. I'm sure I changed the smaller
default format previously, but cannot recall how. Thanks in advance if you
can help!

Changing the default format of comments
 
Hi GraphicsGirl,

Sad to say, there is no control of this without using VBA. You can achieve
some result by change the computers font sizes but I don't suggest that.

If you need to do this to a lot of comments at one time then -
1. Choose Tools, Options, View, Comments & indicators
2. Format one comment the way you want it
3. Click its border and then double-click the Format Painter tool and click
on each of the other comments.

Cheers,
