    Highlighting a Cell prompts a box to appear, Not a comment box, I'd like to edit it

    As said a box appears with information guiding the user to what should be entered.

    I inherited this spreadsheet and would like to edit the contents of this box and also learn how to make them myself.

    Thanks

    Edit:
    Also I'd like to note that the box does not respond to right clicking

    There are two types of pop-up boxes:

    1. Data Validation pop-ups - visible on click
    2. Comment Pop-ups - visible on mouse-over

    Yours is probably Data Validation.
    1. Click on the cell
    2. Data tab > Data Validation > Input Message tab - then edit the message
