To add some visual interest to a worksheet, change a comment’s shape from its default rectangle.
Here are the steps to change a comment shape in Excel 2003:
- Right-click the cell which contains the comment.
- Click on Edit Comment
- Click on the border of the comment, to select it.
- On the Drawing toolbar, click the Draw button
- Click on Change AutoShape, and click on a category.
- Click on a shape to select it.
- When finished, click outside the comment.
In this example, the Cube shape was selected from Basic Shapes. It looks a bit like a “big box” store!
Don’t Change Too Many!
I wouldn’t change the shape of too many comments on a worksheet, or it could be very distracting and possibly confusing.
Just do this for one or two comments, that you want to stand out from the others.
