Hi all

Can someone advise how to using conditional formatting on cells
containing a Comment?

I'd be hoping to have some method of identifying these cells and then
applying a colour or border format to make it more visible and obvious
that they contain a comment. I'm finding the small red triangle a little
hard to spot sometimes.


Grateful for any help.


It seems a macro would be OK from your other comments.

Try this:

To enter this Macro (Sub), <alt-F11 opens the Visual Basic Editor.
Ensure your project is highlighted in the Project Explorer window.
Then, from the top menu, select Insert/Module and
paste the code below into the window that opens.

To use this Macro (Sub), <alt-F8 opens the macro dialog box. Select the macro by name, and <RUN.

======================
Option Explicit
Sub MarkComments()
Dim c As Range
With ActiveSheet.UsedRange
.Interior.Color = xlNone
.Font.Bold = False
End With
On Error Resume Next
With Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeComments)
.Interior.Color = vbRed
.Font.Bold = True
End With
End Sub
