Synopsis
This option allows you to view all the comments that have been placed in the worksheet. When View → Comments is selected, the Reviewing toolbar displays options for ease in scrolling through comments and modifying as needed, as shown in Figure 5-6. The review toolbar displays undocked on the worksheet; in Figure 5-6, sitting on the center of the worksheet.
Comments are added to a cell using Insert → Comment. To eliminate having comments overlap, as shown in Figure 5-6, you can click on a comment and drag it above, below, or to the left side of the corresponding cell.
Turn Off Red Triangle in Cells with Comments
If you don’t want to see the red triangle displayed in the corner of cells with comments, you can remove them from the display by selecting the None radio button in the Comments section on the View tab of Tools → Options. Nevertheless, as soon as you select View → Comments again, the triangle displays in each cell with a comment, even after turning off comments.
