Why did new notes on an old spreadsheet not automatically have yellow backgrounds?
Just created a few new notes on an old spreadsheet and the new notes did not automatically have yellow backgrounds. This usually happens automatically. How can I give them the "standard" yellow backg...
I checked on Beta Excel 365 for Windows, notes still have yellow background by default.
There is no setting in Options to change the notes background color, but in general that's possible. Here Change the Appearance of Cell Notes - Excel Tips - MrExcel Publishing are tricks to do that locally and globally, at the end is how to go back to yellow.
- Sergei, thank you. If I were a Windows user my problem looks like it would be solved. But I Am a Mac user and these excellent detailed instructions simply do not give me a clue how to do these formatting things with Excel Notes on my Mac. And because I see you can do this in Windows, believe me I tried many things on my Mac before writing this but found no way to uncover the formatting options I need. Can you give me a similar document for Mac Users wishing to reformat Notes in Excel? Thank you
Steve, sorry, never used Mac. Perhaps Steve_SumProductCom could help with it.
