    Word highlight color

    I apologize if this isn't the right forum to post this kind of question to.
    I'm using the old MS Word 97. When I insert a comment to a paragraph it is automatically highlighted in yellow. Is it possible to use a different colour?

    Not sure if 97 has this but in the Options dialog > Track Changes tab > Comments Color: "select the desired color"

    This is the correct forum.

    Thanks, but 97 doesn't have this option -you can modify other change-related colours but not the comments'. Fortunately I'm about to upgrade to a more recent Office version in the next few weeks. Or so my boss promised
