hidden comments

[Guest]

I have a workbook on which I have been using comments. The comments are set
to hidden (by right clicking on comment cell). Normally, I point to the cell
with the red triangle at the top right and the comment shows as a cell tip.
I have just added several more comments and can only see them if I right
click and select to show comments which results in them being more
permanently displayed. Is there a limit to the number of comments allowed on
aworksheet? Have I pressed a key combination which has resulted in the
comments not appearing when I hover the mouse over the triangles?

Are you saying you can see the red triangles but the Comments don't show when
you hover?

Or no triangles show?

If the latter, go to Tools>Options>View and checkmark under Comments "Comment
Indicator Only"

If the former, I don't know what's going on.

Yes Gord, the triangles are in each cell but the comments don't show when I
hover.

Most of the time... if you change an option and then set it back to
default, any error will correct itself. So I would try this...

Tools > Options > View Tab > Comments section - Set it to 'None' and
click Ok. Then go back into the options and set it back to 'Comment
Indicator Only' and click Ok.
