How Can I Format Color in Excel 2007 Comments?

[SidBord]

I looked in HELP, but didn’t find much about EXCEL comments. In Excel 2003 I often used color to emphasize certain elements in the comments I’ve added to my worksheets.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
To change the color of a word in a 2003 comment I would initiate comment editing, then wipe my cursor over the characters (words) in order to select the elements I wanted to color differently. Then I would click on the “font color” button to make the change. Nothing remarkable about that.

However, in EXCEL 2007 that procedure doesn’t work. When I initiate comment editing, the color buttons on the ribbon are “grayed out” so I can’t make the change. Anyone have a suggestion?

Try editing the comment, then select the text then right click and select Format Comeent.

Hey, Peter . . . that's the way to do it! Can't thank you enough.
