    Increase font size for all my excel comments

    Hi,
    I'm using MS Excel 2003 on Windows 7 and would like to know how I can increase the font size in my excel comments, one time for all future comments, without having to do each comment individually. I'm not sure if I'm able to do that with the version I've got. Can anyone enlighten me on this? thanks so much. (hope this is clear what I want to do.)
    MS

    This may help/
    Change the font size

    The font size for comments is easy to change, but you need to do so through Windows, not Excel. Consequently, most users don’t realize they can make this change. For Windows XP systems, do the following:

    Right-click the desktop and choose Properties.
    Click the Appearance tab and then click Advanced.
    From the Item drop-down, choose ToolTip.
    Select a font size and click OK.
    Click Apply and then click OK.

    For Windows 7, do the following:

    Right-click the desktop and choose Personalize.
    Click Window Color.
    Click Advanced Appearance Settings.
    From the Item drop-down, choose ToolTip.
    Choose a font size.
    Click OK and then click Save Changes.
    This change updates all tip-type windows, not just Excel comments. So be sure to have a good look around after making the change, just to make sure you can live with its total impact. In addition, the dialog box will allow you to change the font, but Excel will ignore any change you make to the font face.
