Default How can I change the color of the comment indicators?

Both people at that link are regular posters, so you will probably get the
help you need. Again, good luck.

Hi Kevin,

Thank you again. You have been a real help. I have pasted the BVE code into
a BV project module. It does work but i still have to be carefull because I
lost the Excel workbook. Thank God that I make backup copies. But the Module
path got messed up and I had to use the backup. The workbook wouldn't work
properly. This is probably my fault. I will present this to the programming
department.

FYI-This is the link you provided that helped me the most,

Thank you again.

I just took a quick look at it. It appears you would copy the code to a VBE
module (Alt-F11,) and run that macro. I don't know if there's anything else
to it, so you may want to post your question to the programming forum along
with the links you have been provided and ask for help there.

Hi Sue,
Actually there was an earlier use of a triangle shape overlaying
the cell comment to change the apparent color, you might want to
check out both threads instead of just one of them.

One more piece of important info: I'm using Excel 2003

Does anyone know how I can change the color of the comment indicators in an
Excel spreadsheet so I can tell who wrote the comment. This would help me and
my secretary to be able to do our work and be able to tell who's comment it
is. We are in different lacation and can't always talk to each other on the
spur of the moment. If we can change the color of the comment indicator then
it would be simple to be able to see at a glance who's comment it is.
