484 Workbooks on Review Adding comments
You can add comments to the current cell by clicking the New Comment command button on the Ribbon’s Review tab or by pressing Alt+RC. Excel responds by adding a Comment box (similar to the one shown in Figure 3-10) with your name listed at the top (or the name of the person who shows up
in the User Name text box on the Personalize tab of the Excel Options dialog box). You can then type the text of your comment in this box. When you finish typing the text of the note, click the cell to which you’re attaching the note or any other cell in the worksheet to close the Comment box.

Adding comments to various cells of a worksheet.
Displaying and hiding comments
Excel indicates that you’ve attached a comment to a worksheet cell by adding a red triangle to the cell’s upper-right corner. To display the Comment box with its text, you position the thick, white-cross mouse pointer on this red triangle, or you can click the Show All Comments command button on the Review tab (Alt+RA) to display all comments in the worksheet.
When you display a comment by positioning the mouse pointer on the cell’s red triangle, the comment disappears as soon as you move the pointer outside the cell. When you display all the comments on the worksheet by clicking the Show All Comments command button on the Review tab, you must click the Show All Comments button a second time before Excel closes their Comment boxes (or press Alt+RA).
