thank you so much, I thought I was quite an advanced Word user but this option is so buried!

Thanks PeterS for MS 2010 instructions :)

But how do you get rid of the default text between brackets [] ? I want to change “Comment [MSOffice]” to say “Comment [Me]” or nothing to save space.

For MS Word 2010
On the “Home” menu, click the dropdown menu on the bottom righthand corner for “Styles” (fourth box from the left on the toolbar).
Click the third icon from the bottom that says “Manage Styles” when you hold the cursor over it.
Click on “Edit”- tab and the options for font, size etc. will come up.
Find the Style Ballon Text (Always Hidden) and then click Modify. Now you’re able to change the font size etc.

Thanks for MS Word 2007 hint. That was really helpful. Shame on Microsoft.

For MS Word 2007:

On the “Home” menu, click the dropdown menu on the bottom righthand corner for “Styles” (fourth box from the left on the toolbar).
Select “Comment Text” and then click the third icon from the bottom that says “Manage Styles” when you hold the cursor over it.
Click on “Modify” and the options for font, size etc. will come up.
Make sure you select “New documents based on this template”.

When I use the balloon/comment feature in MS Word (‘03 or ‘07), my comments look fine, but the dotted lines are faint. How can I darken them?
