Default Quite the challenging question

Hello!
Is there any way to inlcude a table inside a comment?
If the table could have borders and everything, that would be great.
If not, I will be happy to include columns of a given width within the
comment.
Thanks in advance,
Albert

First use a non-proportional font to create even horizontal spacing. Then
include CHR(10)'s to create the verical spacing.

Select the range then SHIFT + EditCopy PictureAs shown on screenPicture

Open the clipboard by StartRun clipbrd.exe

Save As myname.clp

Use your favorite graphics conversion program to convert myname.clp to
myname.jpg

I use IrfanView from http://www.irfanview.com/

Now.......to the comment.

Insert a comment and right-click on edge of comment and Format CommentColors
and LinesClick on the drop-down and "Fill Effects"Picture.

Browse to myname.jpg and d-click and you're done.

Gary

Can you insert a picture into a xell Comment using this method?

I have tried with the Camera Tool which gives a dynamic picture, but cannot get
it into a Comment.

No need to apologize.

I was just curious and thought maybe you had used the method.

Gord,
This is quite a neat trick.
One comment: when I try it, the resulting table image is a bit fuzzy.
Is there a way to improve the resolution of the comment image?
Thanks
