    Macro to open up a new blank comment for editing

    Excel 2013.

    I want to add to quick launch a button to open a blank comment in a cell, with the cursor in there set to edit it.

    I can use the 'add a comment' function which almost works, but the comment box opens with " :" and the cursor is on the second line. If I backspace twice it deletes the " :", and then the text is annoyingly in bold. I just want a blank comment box with no bold (or any other) formatting.

    Is there a way of doing this with a macro?
