Comment question please

Excel 2003

When I insert a comment into a cell it automatically starts with my name and
a colon. I have a single user machine and have no need for my name to
print. I know there is a setting to shut off this feature but I cannot find
it. Help please.

Thanks in advance... Bob

You can remove the name by deleting your name from:
<Tools> <Option> <General> tab,

And clearing the "User" window.

However, this does *still* leave the colon.

Debra Dalgleish has some code on her web site to make the box completely
empty.

I delete my name where it says "user name" and click the okay tab but it
still puts my name in the comment box and with I reopen the tab in options
my name is always back in there.

Same thing happens to me.

One suggestion is to change your name to Note (temporarily).

Then your comment will start with that.

I actually like the Note idea. I thought it was a good idea when I saw Debra
first suggest it and I haven't changed my opinion.

I'm with you on this.
Must be at least a couple of years now.

But I guess enough people asked for a blank for Deb to publish the code.
