Hi Tom.........
To insert a picture into a Comment Box, first select the cell of interst,
then Right-click InsertComment backspace to eliminate any existing text,
then Left-click on the border of the Comment Box where the cursor becomes a
cross, then click on the arrow next to the FillBucket, then click FillEffects
PictureTab SelectPicture.....browse to find a picture file, then OK
OK.......then ou can grab a cornet haldle and resize the picture as desired,
then click off on any other cell. Now, when you mouse over that cell, that
picture pops up.........cool.

Chuck,

Thanks for your reply. I like this idea

I tried it but once I went to the insert/picture/ menu I was unable to
access the file from that menu. The only item it will let me insert is an
organiztional chart. I also tried to copy the picture and went to edit the
comment box but found the "paste" option unavailable. Do you have any hints
on how to insert the picture into the comment box?

Thanks,
Tom

You might consider inserting the pictures into the comment boxes of cells,
and they will pop-up as the cell is moused over.

I want to show pictures in an Excel spreadsheet. I would like to either embed
a picture in a single cell that could be enlarged as need to view. If that is
not possible I would like to embed a link to a jpeg file that could then be
clicked on to open that file. Any ideas about how this could be accomplished?

I am using Excel 2003.
