    Comment indicator in Excel 07

    Hi, how can I remove the red triangular comment indicator in Excel 07? I need to hide some formulas that have comments. I have made the font white on the formulas so they are not visible however cannot get rid of the red triangle indicator. I know there is a way to remove it in 03 however cannot find how to do it in 07.

    Thanks

    Re: Comment indicator in Excel 07

    Thanks. I want to be able to turn comments & indicators off for a single workbook only, not for all workbooks I open. I presume this Options Advanced Display turns comments off for all workbooks?

    Also I want to be able to make them turn off so that when others look at the workbook (it is on a shared server), they cannot see the comments. Reason being is that these comments are my notes on a shared file. I want to be able to look at them myself however make them invisible to others. Is this possible???

    You tried it, and ...?

    I don't know; try protecting the sheet(s) and see.

    Hi,

    Yes tried the Advanced Display etc and it works however think it works for all workbooks on my computer. The workbook I am altering which is shared, has a sheet protect on it. I will check and see whether it works once I protect it, and let you know - will be in 24 hours as is weekend where I am and cannot access till tomorrow!

    Thanks for your help

    Re: Comment indicator in Excel 07

    a follow up on this......I need to 'Show comments on hover' without the indicator

    The only options in options-advanced-display are:

    - no comments or indicators
    - indicators only, and comments on hover
    - comments and indicators

    In effect, I want no indicators and comment on hover??
