Excel 2000 for Windows For Dummies: Quick Reference
Adding Cell Comments
Adapted From: Excel 2000 for Windows For Dummies: Quick Reference

The Excel cell comment feature enables you to attach a comment to a cell — useful if you need to document a particular value or to help you remember what a formula does. When you move the mouse pointer over a cell that has a comment, the comment pops up in a small box.

To add a comment to a cell, follow these steps:

  1. Select the cell.

  2. Choose the Insert, Comment command (or press Shift+F2).

Excel displays a text box that points to the cell.

  1. Enter the text for the comment into the text box.

  2. Click any cell when you're finished.

The cell displays a small red triangle to indicate that the cell contains a comment.
