I am using the Track Changes option in the Review tab in Word 2010.  I want to be able to select or change the background color in the comments that I type in the margins. How do I do that?

    On the Review tab, click the arrow on the Track Changes button, and then click Change Tracking Options. In the dialog box, choose a color in the "Comments" drop down.
