Comment Box Anchor Point

**dthhal** · 11-20-2009, 01:06 PM

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to change the anchor point of a comment box from the top right hand corner to somewhere else? I have a spreadsheet that has comments that come up when you hover the mouse over the cell, but show up off screen to the right. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

I think you need to show the comment, drag it to a different position, then hide it again. It will then pop up where you dragged it to when you hover over the cell.

Hi,

Believe it is not possible to change the location of the comment anchor point ... even with Excel 2007 ...

Ya, Ive tried to move the box via the "edit" option, but it just goes back to where it was. I have searched everywhere for a solution to this. I guess Microsoft missed this one. Thanks for the help.
