Comments partially hidden due to "frozen" columns
I am using Excel 2007. I have "frozen" columns A thru C so they are always
visible when a user scrolls horizontally. I have also added Comments to several cells in column B. When a user hovers the mouse cursor over a cell containing a comment in column B, the comment always appears to the right beginning in column C (and extends sometimes into columns D & E). However, if a user has scrolled horizontally to column Z, for example, and then hovers the mouse cursor over a cell containing a comment in column B, the comment becomes partially hidden. Is this behavior "normal" or is there something I can do (without utilizing a macro) that will ensure the entire comment is visible even when a user has scrolled several columns horizontally to the right? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Bob |

Comments partially hidden due to "frozen" columns
It is normal behaviour with Comments and Freeze Panes.
Annoying but normal. I do not know of a method......VBA or otherwise to overcome it. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Sun, 13 Dec 2009 19:35:02 -0800, Bob wrote: I am using Excel 2007.
