I'm using the below code to run a macro that add comments to cells.
Does anyone know if there is anyway I can edit the code so that when
the comment box is generated it contains text from a specific cell
within the workbook? I would like to do it this way as the changes
requently.


ActiveCell.AddComment
ActiveCell.Comment.Text Text:=""
ActiveCell.Comment.Visible = True

With ActiveCell.Comment.Shape.OLEFormat.Object
Font.Name = "Arial"
Font.Size = 20
Font.Bold = True
Width = 400
Height = 300

End With


End Sub
