after reading further in general questions, i see where you cannot remove
indicators, so i guess my new question would be how to change the appearance
of those indicators when you save as a web page. As a web page the
indicators are too large.

How can I remove or hide the reference number whenever I save the worksheet
as a web page? I still want to be able to view the comments when the mouse
is hovering over the cell but do not want the reference or indicator to show
the way it does.
