How do I make the comment ballon large enough to show all of the comment and
what happened to the equal sign in the formula bar in excel 2007? Thank you. |
comment ballon and equal sign
Edit the comment as in previous versions and drag the comment balloon to the
size you want. As to the equal sign in the formula bar, it is still there in Excel 2007 as it was in previous versions.. Tyro "jggsfl" wrote in message ...

not sure if this is a version thing , but if you go and edit the coments,
then you should be able to size the box = look for the white dots in the corner of the comments box "jggsfl" wrote: How do I make the comment ballon large enough to show all of the comment and what happened to the equal sign in the formula bar in excel 2007? Thank you. |

You can use code to modify the size of all the comments.
Debra Dalgleish has some sample code he http://contextures.com/xlcomments03.html#Resize The equal sign on the formula bar disappeared with xl2003. Maybe you can add the equal sign to the QAT and use it from there. It's not quite the same, but it may be sufficient for you. jggsfl wrote: How do I make the comment ballon large enough to show all of the comment and what happened to the equal sign in the formula bar in excel 2007?

Thank you, I was able to resize the comment box. Still can not find the = in
the fomula bar, I only show the insert function button. Is there something I have to select on?

Code??? Select the comment and edit. Make the comment container as big as
you wish, format at will! Color too! Excel 2007 puts an =sign in the formula bar where warranted. No differences from previous versions. Tyro "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...

The equal sign appears automatically in Excel 2007.
If you enter text in a cell, no equal sign as in previous versions If you enter a number, you get an equal sign as in previous versions. If you enter a formula, you get an equal sign as in previous versions. Tyro "jggsfl" wrote in message ... Thank you, I was able to resize the comment box.

xl2002 and below had an equal sign icon that was near the fx button on the
formula bar. It disappeared in xl2003. And if I had more than a few comments, I wouldn't want to do them manually. Tyro wrote: Code??? Select the comment and edit.

No reason for it to exist. Simply type it in the cell where you're entering
the formula. Are you telling me you need to have Excel type it for you by pressing the equal sign???? Tyro "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ... Ps.

Nope. I can say that I don't ever remember using it.
But from the complaints I saw in these newsgroups, lots and lots of people liked to use it. Tyro wrote: No reason for it to exist. Simply type it in the cell where you're entering the formula.

I simply enter my formulas preceded by an = sign. Why would you want to move
the mouse over hundreds of yards of territory to get the to = sign on the formula bar??? hehe :) Well, I guess some people will to anything to avoid a keystroke even if it means spending a lot of time and effort.

For the benefit of those who can't remember or never knew about the earlier
versions of Excel. More info on how the "=" sign functioned pre-2002 http://tinyurl.com/5yuwwc It did much more than enter an "="sign. It made formula editing much simpler.
