When my comments appear, they always start with
my name in bold, followed by a colon. How can I
change this name to another name, or have no name
at all appear in the comment balloon?
Thanks very much for your help!

Delete the username. You will still get the colon. If you don't want anything,
you will need VBA macro.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for Comments programming.

Note that this will not change the name that you see in the statusbar for
any existing comments, that name is fixed.
