Default Enter Comment for an Entire Column

I know you can enter a comment so when you scroll over the column it will
show the comment no matter what line you are on, but I can not remember how
to do this.

other cells of interest.......

Think we could also:
Right-click on cell Insert Comment
to enter directly

Just to clarify that I had lightly "disregarded" your subject line, and
presumed you simply wanted to remember how to insert comments into cells,
individually.

Thanks any how. What I need is when someone is filling in the spreadsheet I
want to make sure they enter only the info needed in that column. I did it
years ago but can not fiqour it out now.........as they say use or lose it.
Thanks

Perhaps you're referring to data validation's input message ?

Try this:

Select col A
Click Data Validation Input Message tab
Enter some "comments" inside the "Input Message" box
Click OK

The input msg will appear as you scroll down col A
(Is that what you're after ?)

For more on Data Validation, try Debra Dalgleish's excellent coverage. For
starters, try her:
