I am looking for a way to do one of two things. Either count the number of
comments in a row or column of cells, or to count the number of times a
specific word appears in a series of comments in a row or column.

Any suggestions?

you can generalize this by using your range in place of ROWS(1)

Here is an adaptation of Pearson's code that I got to work:

Function ccount(r As Range) As Integer
Dim C As Comment
Dim r1 As Range
ccount = 0
For Each r1 In r
On Error Resume Next
Set C = r1.Comment
If Err.Number = 0 Then
ccount = 1 + 1
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Next
End Function
