In Excel 2000 you can insert a comment in a Cell, mark the Comment border
and then chose from your Draw menu/Change AutoShape/Basic Shapes.
Then the Comment change from a square to any shape you chose.

Is this also possible to do with Excel 2007?

Any help is very much appreaciated.

I don't do too much with XL2007, so I don't know if this is the best way or
not, but it does work. Click the down arrow on the QAT and select "More
Commands" from the popup menu that appears. Select...

"Drawing Tools | Format Tab"

from the drop down on the top, left side of the right-hand panel, then
select "Edit Shape" from the listing under that drop down, then click the
Add button. That will put a new icon on the QAT. Select your comment border,
then click this new icon and hover over the "Change Shape" item until a
fly-out panel appears with the shapes you can pick to change the Comment's
border to... pick the shape you want.
