Excel worksheet won't display text within the text box when opened on Apple computer
mathetes Yes thank you, I did inadvertently leave out the word "Don't"
So when they open my email and open the attachment, the messages within the box are not visible. I think there must be a specific format I need to choose when saving my worksheet so my iphone clients can see EVERYTHING i've put together for them.

Ahh, this is the first time you've mentioned iPhone as part of the picture. So I went into my iPhone and checked with a spreadsheet that has a text box and, again, had no problem seeing it. But nevertheless, the fact that you're speaking of an iPhone rather than an Apple Computer (which your title mentions) means you're also working with a relatively small screen...... making me wonder whether a text box is essential in the first place.
Is it providing some kind of instruction on how to use the worksheet? Could a different design be used that's more intuitive? Etc.

None of the notes show up. It has nothing to do with how much room is available. It just simply won't display the text box content. I'm also placing text boxes on top the pasted chart to add details and as I stated the content won't show.

You missed my point, which wasn't that there wasn't enough room; it was simply that there's not a lot of room on an iPhone screen for comments, so maybe a re-design could obviate the need for a text box. Make your explanatory comments part of a cover letter rather than part of the app. Not a solution, but a work-around.
