Comment defaults

Posted by Graham on July 19, 2001 3:13 AM

I can change the colour ok, and I can re-format an inserted comment, but can anyone tell me how to change the default font size for 'Comments'?

This is altered via your windows settings and
not by excel......
eg. Display properties / Appearance
Then select Item = Tooltips
set your default font here.

Thanks, Ivan, that worked.
It makes a bit of a mess of the tool tips on everything else, though!
I've also found a couple of macros that work.
The first formats a selected cell's comment, the second formats all comments

Sub comment_font_change_1()
With ActiveCell.Comment.Shape.TextFrame.Characters.Font
.Name = "courier"
.Size = 36
.Bold = True
.ColorIndex = 21
End With
End SubSub

Comment_Font_Change_2()
For Each x In ActiveSheet.comments
With x.Shape.TextFrame.Characters.Font
.Name = "arial"
.Size = 16
.Bold = False
.ColorIndex = 3
End With
Next x
End Sub
