Is there a way to hide comment markers? If so, can they be hidden
based
on cell values or formulas? I created a worksheet where some cells are
hidden until a specified second cell contains a given value. However,
while
cell values are hidden the comment marker gives away the fact that the
cell
may contain data or serves some special function.
