Excel comments

[Glanerch]

Problem was result of comp crash - without good backup

Excel Comments are working great – but we lost an important facility.

==============================

Previous available facility =

left click on cell with Comment fixes Comment open - to allow edit Comment

==============================

Present normal Comments facilities =

1 on Review tab - Show all Comments button works with Ctrl + '6' to toggle all Comments on/off

2 hover over cell shows Comment temporarily

3 right click on cell - click Edit Comment on drop menu to edit

4 select cell - on Review tab click Edit Comment [or Shift + F2] to edit

5 click Previous/Next selects Comment fixes Comment open - allows edit


So desired facility replicates Previous/Next facility - on a cell selected by left click


Is there an Excel tweak to fix ?

Could there be a registry edit to fix ?


Tests done with single-sheet workbook

Windows 7 - MS Office 2007 [reinstalled] - Excel 2007 version 12

And about your question...


* Go To VBA (Alt + F11)

* Go to Immediate Window (Ctrl + G)

* Write

? Application.DisplayCommentIndicator

I guess it will result [b]-1 (xlCommentIndicatorOnly)


if yes.. Please change this to 1[/b] (xlCommentAndIndicator) by..

Application.DisplayCommentIndicator = 1

in the same Window, or

Excel > File > Option > Advanced > Display > For Cell With Comments Show > Comments & Indicator..


Please confirm if its working..


Regards,
