Change the Color of Comments

[MWE]

I am running Word2003. I have a fairly large document (A.doc) with hundreds of comments. I am the author of 50% of the comments. The other 50% were not authored by me. Some of those comments reflect the correct author (not me) because the comment and its "scope" were copied into A.doc But in many cases, copying the text associated with the comment (the "scope") was not done because that screwed up paragraphs, bookmarks and other things in A.doc. So, for each of these comments, I simply added "per XYZ," to the beginning of the comment. I wrote a little VBA procedure to change the comment initials and author so they are now "correct". But I would also like to change the colour of the balloon so it is easier to see who owns which comments. Anyone know how to do that?

Thanks

BRthanks for the reply. I actually stumbled across a much more useful approach. I decided to write a Comment Editor that would allow me to actually edit comments. What I really wanted to do was change the "author" for the comment (normally the initials associated with the author's instance of Word). I discovered that when you changed the comment's author (initials), you automatically got another color. This has worked out quite well, i.e., each set of initials gets its own color. The only drawback is that the colors appear to be assigned in a standard FIFO sequence. When I have some time I will upgrade the procedure to a standard set of initials so all comments from certain people will always be the same color.
