Default Excel, how do I set up default comment containing picture?

I've just tried that but got the message, "Run-time error '438'. Object
doesn't support this property or method.

Or you could record a macro while you add the comment with a picture,
and run that when you need it. Put the code in a workbook that's always
open, and add a button to one of your toolbars, to run the macro.

Then, select a cell and click the button.

I tried that a while ago & it didn't work. I can't remember what the problem
was, now. I'll give it another go.
thanks very much anyway.

You could always put a comment in your personal.xls (sheet1?), then use a macro
to copy|paste that comment.

Thanks for the suggestion Dave, that's what I currently do. I suppose I'm
just being lazy wanting the system to do it for me.

Maybe you could just create your default comment once, then
edit|copy
edit|paste special|Comments
whenever you need that special comment.

I've tried right-clicking on the comment & selecting "set auto shape
defaults, to no avail. Is it possible to set up a default comment, containing
a picture, to save having to edit every comment?
