Why when I hit enter in the Insert Comment box, it changes my name back to ‘Author’,?

There’s a better alternative to comments – http://www.xlnotes.com offers add-in that can create text notes for selected cell which can contain pictures and formatted text just like Word document. Notes can also store web-pages and attached files. Hope you find this useful.

I’m setting up several comment boxes and have a macro to automatically bring up the comments. However, I’m doing this in several cells and it’s become inconvenient to click on a different cell everytime I want to go to a new cell after typing in a comment box. Is there a way to get out of the comment box without using the mouse and/or clicking on another cell so I can go to another cell?

So then you have all these comments, and you can print them as a list, but there seems to be no way (in 2007) to get a list of the comments to display outside of printing them (e.g., to show in another sheet like you can with the track changes).
Anyone know how to display a list of the comments without printing them (some solution not involving Visual Basic)?

Is there a way to have the comment box pop-up only when you type a cetain range in the cell. For example if you are using a score card and you want comment from 8 thru 0. How do you have the coment box pop-up only when the user type those ranges in?

Add a picture into a comment in Excel 2003 is easy -

See http://www.mrexcel.com/tip089.shtml

Excel 2007 is another story. Any help here would be appreciated.

Have a workbook with several worksheets. Have one worksheet with many comments, some deliberately hidden & some showing. Want to have a copy of the worksheet in the same file with none of the comments showing. How do I do this without effecting the comment formatting of the original worksheet?

Anyone know if you can remove the registered user’s name from the comment box? My computer is registered to Darth Vader, so every time I “insert comment” the default starts out as “Darth Vader:” Each time I have to select that text and delete it before adding my comment. It’s a pain, so any way to not have the user’s name inserted as a default would be quite helpful.

Hi Dav, if you want to hide cells in Excel, select the cell range and then right click and choose Format Cells. Click on the Protection tab and then check off the Hidden box. Now those cells will be hidden.

You can also hide entire columns and rows by right clicking on the column headers (A,B,C,etc) and choosing Hide. Hope that helps!
