And there is a huge possibility that you don’t like it. As a result, it would be nice to be able to change the comment style in your document. You can read on to see our 3 methods bellow. ## Method 1: Use Shortcuts 1. To begin with, put insertion pointer at the start of the first comment text. 2. Next press “Ctrl+ Shift+ End”. You will see all comment texts are in selection then. 3. Then go to change the formatting as you like.![Press "Ctrl+ Shift+ End" to select all comment texts->Change comment style](https://www.datanumen.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Press-Ctrl-Shift-End-to-select-all-comment-texts-then-Change-comment-style.jpg "Press \"Ctrl+ Shift+ End\" to select all comment texts->Change comment style") ## Method 2: Modify “Comment Text” Style 1. At first, click “Home” tab. 2. Then click “Styles” button to open the same name window.![Click "Home" ->Click "Styles"]( "Click \"Home\" ->Click \"Styles\"") 3. Next click the “Options” on the bottom of the window to open the “Style Pane Options” dialog box. 4. Choose “All styles” to show and click “OK” there.![Choose "All styles"->Click "OK"]( "Choose \"All styles\"->Click \"OK\"") 5. Next all styles shall show in the “Styles” window. Go to find “Comment Text” and move cursor over it. 6. When you see the upside-down triangle button on the style name, click it. 7. And choose “Modify”.![Click "Modify"]( "Click \"Modify\"") 8. Now in “Modify Style” box, change the style formatting and click “OK” to save the change.![Change Formatting->Click "OK"]( "Change Formatting->Click \"OK\"") By the way, we can’t use method 2 unless comment texts are in the default “Comment Text” style. If you have altered the text style before, you will have to resort to method 1 or method 3 in the coming contents. ## Method 3: Change the Comment Text Style via VBA 1. First and foremost, bring out the VBA editor by pressing “Alt+ F11”. 2. Secondly, click “Normal”. 3. Under the “Normal” project, click “Insert” tab. 4. Then choose “Module” on the drop-down menu.![Click "Normal"->Click "Insert"->Click "Module"]( "Click \"Normal\"->Click \"Insert\"->Click \"Module\"") 5. Now double click on the newly inserted module to open the editing area on the right. 6. There you should paste the following codes: ``` Sub SetCommentTextStyle() Dim objComment As Comment Dim objDoc As Document Dim strFontName As String Dim strFontSize As String Set objDoc = ActiveDocument strFontName = InputBox("Enter text font name here: ", "Font name") strFontSize = InputBox("Enter font size here: ", "Font size") With objDoc For Each objComment In .Comments objComment.Range.Font.Name = strFontName objComment.Range.Font.Size = strFontSize Next objComment End With End Sub ``` 7. Next click “Run”.![Paste codes->Click "Run"]( "Paste codes->Click \"Run\"") 8. Now enter a font type in the first box popping up and click “OK”.![Enter new font name->Click "OK"]( "Enter new font name->Click \"OK\"") 9. Then enter a font size in the second one and click “OK”, too.![Enter font size->Click "OK"]( "Enter font size->Click \"OK\"") ## Comparison of 3 Methods | Methods | Advantages | Disadvantages | | --- | --- | --- | | Method 1: Use Shortcuts | The quickest way | 1.         It can be hard to precisely put insertion pointer right at the start of comment text since the balloon size is not that large. 2.         You have to remember the shortcuts. | | Method 2: Modify “Comment Text” Style | 1.         You can save the modified style for future documents. 2.         No need to select all comment texts manually. | 1.         To use this method, the original comment texts shall take the default “Comment Text” style. Otherwise the modified style cannot be applied to comment texts. 2.         comparative more steps | | Method 3: Change the Comment Text Style via VBA | 1.         No need to select all comment texts manually 2.         Fewer steps | Affect only the current document. | ## When Word Crashes There is a chance that your Word can suddenly stop working.
