Any way to change the color of the cell corner identifier that shows a comment is present?
I'm working on a project that adds a lot of comments to the cells in my
workbook. I know that any cell that has data in it will also have a comment, so the visual identification with the red triangle in the upper right of each of those cells is redundant (and distracting). Worst case, I'd like to know if there is some way to turn that triangle off, or change the color to white so it isn't noticable. Best case, I'd like to know if there is any way to programatically modify the color of that triangle by cell, so I could make most of them white but optionally leave a few red if there was a particularly important comment in that cell. I realize this may be way outside of what Excel allows, but it never hurts to ask. I'm open to VBA solutions as well, but figured a misc newsgroup would be the place to start. The only thing I can't do is anything that requires changes to the registry, as our IT department locked down all machines and I don't have permission to change the registry on my computer or those of the other users of the workbook. Thanks, Keith |

Click TOOLS in the menu & select OPTIONS. On the VIEW tab in the COMMENTS
panel, click the NONE option button to suppress the display of all comments in the worksheet. -- Kevin Backmann "Keith R" wrote: I'm working on a project that adds a lot of comments to the cells in my workbook.
