notes attached to cells not visible, broken since last excel update (Office 365 on Mac)
I've got many notes (the yellow non-threaded formerly called comments) in my excel sheets. Since the latest software update I can not display/view my notes anymore. The cells containing note still s...
I have dozens of yellow sticky Notes on each of my Excel worksheets. None of them displays upon mousing over. This is been going on for several months. There are no lines drawn to squished notes - I am familiar with that situation. The notes simply do not appear, rather they flash on and off a Split Second when the mouse hovers. I do not see why I need to go to some panel click to show notes in order to read these what happened to the old-fashioned way of having them come up upon mousing? And yes, I have the proper setting in Options Advanced ...display on Hover. Running 365, and have the latest updates.
that's terrible. I have same problem. I put some critical data as notes in the forms of comments and they are not accessible in my new computer with office 2013, I upgraded to 2016, not better.
Hello. My first post here.
I have the same problem of an invisible note, but it only affects one cell in my spreadsheet. Just as others have described, there's a red triangle in the upper righthand corner of the cell, and when I attempt to view the note, a call-out line from the cell appears, but no note at the end of the line. I've tried the various suggestions outlined above, but none of them can get the note to appear. All my other cell notes are behaving properly.The fact that only one cell is affected, not the entire SS makes me wonder if it's corrupted, rather than reflective of a global issue with an MS update. Running on a PC under Windows 10.
