    How do I exclude user names from comment boxes

    I use comments a lot but don't want the user name to appear by default in the box. Is there any way to turn this off?

    It is a macro, yes.

    To enter it, do ALT & F11 to open the VB editor

    Do Insert > Module

    Paste the code into the window that pops up

    Close the VB editor with the cross in the corner.

    In excel, run the macro from the menu.
