Now, 5000 people know about your favorite porn... :P @Tim ... you can write an event to handle the new comments. I wouldnt recommend it as it is really painful. another option is to use the macro suggested by Yukikomi. It will update comments everytime you activate the sheet. @laguerriere: very cool :) @Jeff… Now, 5000 people know about your favorite porn… :P

Great Post :) @Tim : the way the macro is coded, it must be run very time. @Community: If someone has an idea to perform it when opening an existing excel, it should be nice. @Community: if someone has some code to revamp the commentboxes on all sheets, please share it. :) @Microsoft Excel-progammers: some pimpoptions for the commentboxes should be great. Cheerio Tom @Chandoo. Great Post :)

For those who don't like it, there is another way: just add the "draw" toolbar to the shapes toolbar (via Custom etc), click on "edit comment", click on the auto-shape and then choose "draw" drop-down, --> modify auto-shape --> then you even can have a heart or a banner (I like the horizontal banner in in purple :-)) . in excel 2007, you have to add this custom menu that you choose via Excel Options --> Custom --> it is called "change/ modify auto-shape"!!! best, hi Chandoo, well, I like the macro approach.

I have a question, as a VBA n00b: additional comment boxes stay plain unless I "run" the macro. Is there a way to change all comments, going-forward? Wow, that is pimp-TASTIC!
