Adding Comments

A comment is a note you add to a cell in a worksheet. Use comments to add information, descriptions, or instructions to cells. A red triangle appears in the corner of a cell with a comment. Point to the cell to make the comment visible. Removing your mouse from the cell will hide the comment.

To insert a comment into a cell:

1. Select the cell in which you want to insert the comment.
2. Click Comment on the Insert menu.
3. Type the text in the balloon that appears.
4. If you want, select and delete your name to remove it from the comment.
5. Click outside the balloon when you are done.

Select Comments on the View menu to view all the comments in a worksheet.

• Right-click the cell in which you want the comment; select Insert Comment from the menu.
• If the Reviewing toolbar is open, you can also click the New Comment button.
