I am new to Acrobat X Pro and am struggling to figure out how to change the default red text that is applied to comments to another, more readable (for red-color-blind folks) color. It's not obvious, as it was in version 9.x Pro. Where are the controls for font colors when adding comments and/or text directly to documents?
 
Thank you.

Each user will need to perform this task within Acrobat.

Create a comment, right mouse click for access to the "Properties" context menu, and change the color as needed. Right mouse click and select "Make Current Properties Default".

Right clicking on a text box brings up a dialog that is focused only on the properties of the box...not the text that is written inside that box. In this text box's properties box dialog there is no option to change anything to do with the font. Only the background color and border of the box itself. No font properties whatsoever are present.

Since posting this problem I've experimented and discovered that if I click "CTRL-E" while having my cursor selecting the (red) text in the text box, a different properties dialog box appears that specifically addresses the properties of the text within the text box (not the box itself, which is in the other, separate properties dialog box I already described). Unfortunately I can't find a way to keep the font properties dialog pinned anywhere in the tools or other portions of the user interface (in Acrobat 9, one could put this box in the tool menus and when the text is selected in the text box, the context of the properties changes to show the font options, including color, etc without having to figure out the appropriate shortcut key combination to bring it up).

Any other thoughts about any of this??

Thank you very much for your help.
