I'd like to change the comment size in excel, but do not want to use the
Properties - Appearance - Advanced - Item - Tooltip route.

I've seen this on Debra Dalgleish's site -
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

Can I put this in some kind of excel startup file so that all Excel files
that I create or edit will have these new comment settings? Thanks for any
comments.

You could add the macro to your Personal.xls workbook, or another file
that you usually have open. Then, add a button to one of your toolbars,
and assign that macro to it.

When you want to insert a comment, click the toolbar button.
