Sounds like input messages, go to data, validation and select the input
message tab.

Hi,
I have an older spread sheet that have some tips that pop up when I go to
the cell using the arrow keys on my keyboard. They are not comments. They
look like comments (yellow background), but unlike the comments that are
accessible when I point my mouse pointer above the cell, these "tips" show
only when the cell is actually selected.
Can somebody can help me with "how-to" on this issue?
Thanks
