如何更改MS Word文档中插入的注释的背景颜色？

Question

When I enter a comment in a document by clicking Review -> Comments -> New Comment in MS Word 2010, word allows me to enter a comment. However, I am not able to change the background color of the comment box.

Is there a way by which background color of the comment box can be changed in MS Word?

I am asking this because, I am writing a VBA code to read all the comments inserted in a document. I also want to get information about the background color of the comment box. So, if it can be done using tools provided in the ribbon, it can be done through VBA as well. With this notion in mind, I am asking this.

Answer 1

I noticed that in Word, comments background color can't be decided by you, but they can be changed randomly (at least to me) by changing the username of the current user.

For example, I originally had all my comments in pink boxes. Until I executed this

Application.UserName = "Ahmad MUTAWA"

After that, each comment I added is in a violet box. I did another change,

Application.UserName = "Ahmad"

and yet my new comments were added into a another shade of pink. Look at the attached screenshot. These comments appear in three different colors, but they all were added by me under different usernames.

So what you can do is look for comments written by different Reviewer s since each reveiwer is essentially a username.

Answer 2

As Ahmad indicated, you can change the color of a comment by having the comment have a different author.

You can access all of the comments via ActiveDocument.Comments.

Something like the following:

dim c as Comment
For each c in ActiveDocument.Comments
    'Give each comment a unique author.
    c.Author = "Author" & c.Index
next

Would change the author of every comment, and each comment would have a different color.

That being said, you should be able to read all comments and figure out if the colors are the same by tracking the author of the comment. However, there does not appear to be any practical way to update the color of the comment via code or even know the actual comment color.

Answer 3

转到“评论” Review-> Track Changes选项”，它将使您（作者）有机会更改评论的颜色，因此您可以将其更改为与红色和蓝色不同的颜色
