Default comment ballon and equal sign

It must have been removed in xl2002.

Ps. Here's an image from xl97.

Notice the equal sign to the left of the formula bar.

That doesn't exist anymore in xl2003:

xl2002 and below had an equal sign icon that was near the fx button on

formula bar.

It disappeared in xl2003.

And if I had more than a few comments, I wouldn't want to do them
manually.

you wish, format at will! Color too!
Excel 2007 puts an =sign in the formula bar where warranted.
No differences from previous versions.

You can use code to modify the size of all the comments.

Debra Dalgleish has some sample code he
http://contextures.com/xlcomments03.html#Resize

The equal sign on the formula bar disappeared with xl2003.

Maybe you can add the equal sign to the QAT and use it from there.

It's not quite the same, but it may be sufficient for you.

and
what happened to the equal sign in the formula bar in excel 2007?
