Cell Comment--Not!

I just downloaded a spreadsheet that has something I've never seen before.
When I select one of several possible cells, a yellow box with documentation
about the cell pops up beneath the cell. Right-clicking on the box does
nothing.

The box is *not* a cell Comment (as in Insert Comment), for these reasons...

....It doesn't have a line connecting it to the cell.
....It doesn't have a little triangle in the top-right corner of the cell.
....Unlike a cell Comment, it automatically displays when the cell is
selected and closes when another cell is selected.
....I **also** can assign a Comment to the same cell, giving me *two* notes
for a single cell.

Does anyone have an idea what this documentation box might be, and how it's
controlled?

Thanks.

Sounds like somebody is using the Data Validation to
document items in the spreadsheet. To find out, go to Data-
Validation and look on the tab for Input Message.
