Adding Comments in an Excel Spreadsheet

Excel includes a very helpful feature that allows you to add comments to your worksheet. Each cell in the worksheet can have its own comment attached to it, if desired. Follow these steps to add comments:

1. Select the cell to which you want a comment attached.
2. Choose Comment from the Insert menu. A text box appears near the right corner of the cell.
3. In the text box, enter the comment you want associated with the cell.
4. Click outside the text box when you are done.

The comment is now added to the cell. You should notice a small red triangle in the upper-right corner of the cell. When you move the mouse pointer over the cell, the text of the comment appears next to the pointer. You can also turn on all the comments in your worksheet so that you can see them by choosing Comments from the View menu.
