Default How do I get an automatic reminder with a certain cell value?

Is there a way to receive a pop-up comment or text box when a certain thing
is typed into a cell? For example, each time I type "new instrument", I want
a reminder to pop-up like a comment would that says "Call Property
Accounting". Is there a function like this in Excel?

If you have a list of terms, maybe you can use an adjacent helper cell and use a
nice =vlookup() formula to show your message.

Debra Dalgleish has some instructions at:
