Jim6373My issue is that "edit notes" does nothing on any cell in one particular column that has cells with notes. No stem lines, no notes appearing, no nothing. The column has different formatting on different rows -- it is not a consistently formatted column. The formatting is similar to adjacent columns that are not having this issue -- notes show fine in the adjacent columns. Very bizarre that this one column would not show notes when I click 'edit notes'.
The only way to see my notes in that column is to select "show/hide all notes", in which case the dozens of notes I have all appear at once in a jumbled mess. I have all updates installed and rebooting did not help.

opieandy123456 I found that copying and pasting the cell to a blank cell, then cutting and pasting it back to the original cell allows me to edit after getting the symptoms you were having. Just a workaround, but better than closing and opening the file (which doesn't work for me anyway).
