"Edit Comment" Broken in Excel 2002 SP2
When I "right-click" and "Edit Comment" in a cell with an existing comment,
nothing happens, i.e. the comment does not open for editing. Similarly for the Edit Comment icon in the Reviewing toolbar. Hover works, i.e. displays the comment. The only way I can edit the comment is to Show Comment first. However, I have to re-hover over the cell to get the Comment to pop-up. Anyone run into this problem before? I did not find this problem described in the Knowledge area. |

If that was not the answer you were looking for:
can you insert a comment from the Insert menu (at the top) |

Actually, the "right-click" pop-up menu works fine, and the comment in the
cell is already there. I just can no longer "Edit Comment" from either the "right-click" menu or from the toolbar. "David McRitchie" wrote: If that was not the answer you were looking for: can you insert a comment from the Insert menu (at the top) |

Hi Gary,
Sounds like you have sheet protection turned on, for which you would see the menu item, but it would be grayed out. http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/grayedout.htm --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Gary Johnson" wrote in message ...

Hi David, twas a good thought... but not the source of the problem.
Protection was not turned on. Thank you for taking your time to think about this.
