Hi,

I don't see any errors that works fine. The only thing I can maybe see is
you have to enter

=GET.OBJECT(12,"comment1")

in the refers to box

Hi, is there any solution to extract the text written in acommentbox to a
specific cell

I tried the following but this message “#name?” appeared

Select the cell which has thecomment
Go to InsertName (Define Name in formulas tap) a window will appear
Now insert the following formula in the "Refers to" box -
get.object(12,"comment1") and give it a name, say trial
In any cell (say A5) where you want to insert the contents of the comments
box, say =trial.

Please check where is my mistake, note that I have Office 2007.

I like both solutions, but unfortunately don't see a way using either
technique to automatically change the destination cell contents if the
target cell's comment changes.
Is there one?
