I recently had to work on text documents (mainly docx but also odt), that had gone through editing by many people and I had to realise that regularly comments were written in different formats : different font sizes, but also different line spacings and even indents. I was even astonished that indentation could be changed in a comment, but it seems possible, also in Libreoffice. The problem is that when there are many comments on a page, even though version 24.8.2.1 allows now increasing the the comments size to the right (thanks very much, that's great), if the font is in a large size and has an increased line spacing, it is not readable. It therefore would be great if there would be a way to readjust the font size and paragraph formatting of all comments, from all commenters, at the same time. Like selecting the whole main text and changing its font size, but selecting just all the text of all comments. I have searched on the web for a solution, have found a few discussion in forums around this topic, but I have not found a way to do this. Except clicking into each comment, and changing it. Thanks for considering if this is an improvement. Cheers Oliver

Aaaaahhhhh. I'm quite embarrassed, I spent half an hour on the web searching if this could be done, when I would have just needed to look at the drop down menu in the comments. Thanks very much for the hint and sorry for the inconvenience. Issue closed :-)
well, just saw that this only allows to change the font size, because it opens the font options window, but it does not allow to homogenize the paragraphe formats, like indents or line-spacing (and having double line spacing in a comment is a real problem). so, resolved for the font size issue, proposition for an improvement concerning paragraph style in the comments. By the way, in some documents I have seen a paragraph style called comments, but not in others. Might this be a way to homogenize paragraphe style across all comments ?
