I use the review feature of word frequently; I changed the
INSERT COMMENT in the template so it inserts comments in a
larger font; this change is saved in my normal.dot.
However, I frequently receive assignments from sts - they
do not have that change in their template. Is there a way
that I can more simply change the format besides going to
TOOLS-TEMPLATES-ADDONS, ORGANIZER, etc? I tried recording
a macro to do that but it appears as if the macro saves
the change to the current document rather than making it
a "general" macro.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
You need to use the macro editor make a small change to the recorded macro
to make it apply to the current document rather than a particular document.

eg

Dim myDoc As String
myDoc = ActiveDocument

Application.OrganizerCopy Source:="D:\Word Templates\normal.dot", _
Destination:=myDoc, Name:="Comment Reference", Object:= _
wdOrganizerObjectStyles
Application.OrganizerCopy Source:="D:\Word Templates\normal.dot", _
Destination:=myDoc, Name:="Comment Text", Object:= _
wdOrganizerObjectStyles
Application.OrganizerCopy Source:="D:\Word Templates\normal.dot", _
Destination:=myDoc, Name:="Comment Subject", Object:= _
wdOrganizerObjectStyles

I have included all three comment styles - change to reflect what you want.
Note you'll also need to change the normal.dot template path to reflect your
own

Basically you are defining the current (the ActiveDocument) document as
myDoc then replacing the document name (without speech marks) that the macro
recorder saves with myDoc.
