View 2 Replies View RelatedIt seems that you can change position when you editing comment and its remembered, but when its showing its alway's on default position.
Is there way to change position of displayed (when you mouse over cell and coment pops up) comment position?
The comment boxes keep changing shape and location in my spreadsheet. Some are completely smashed together, while others are extraodinarily wide. I had them all to the right of the cell they applied to; but now they are all over the place.

The Last comment box in the range seems to be the default size, the next to last a little bigger, then it start getting even larger and larger until the first comment in the colomn.
Sub InsertComm()
Dim RgPartnumb As Range
Dim NRg As Range
Set RgPartnumb = Range(Range("B2"), Range("B2").End(xlDown))
On Error Resume Next
For Each NRg In RgPartnumb

I wish to be able to change the default appearance of a cell's comment. Currently, the default font size is too small to be useful - is there a way of changing this setting, without reverting to a VBA tidy-up?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am wondering within the Excel interface, is it possible to auto-fit the size of a comment box to its content?
I have searched the internet and found that a macro as follows could do the job:
Sub FitComments()
Dim c As Comment
For Each c In ActiveSheet.Comments
c.Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True
Next c
End Sub
However, this Macro applies to and resize all of the the comment boxes in the active sheet.
I would like to just auto-fit the comment box only to the selected cell, or even better, to multiple selected cells.
I have excel 2007 and I came across the following difficulty:
If I create a graph (or a chart) the default size is "Letter". However, I can switch this "Letter" to "A4" which I need and then create a template. But I always have to manually choose this template for new charts. However switching this any time I create a new chart is a rather bad way to cope with. Even clicking on set as default obviously does not cause to have A4 size for new chart, it still has got size of Letter when adding a new chart.
I assume the solution could be in XLStart templates, but it probably doesnt work for charts that you add. Or at least I didnt find any clue on the internet for this problem.
I'm currently having an issue with Clear All... which sets the font to Tahoma, size 11. Font is okay, but I have my default size set to 10. Everytime I Clear All on even a single cell, the row size increases from 13.50 to 14.25 (from 17 to 20 pixels).

I want to know if we can change the color of the comment icon (when we add comment for a cell it gives a triangle form in red) can we change the color.
View 3 Replies View Relatedhow I can change the color of the comment indicators in an
Excel spreadsheet so I can tell who wrote the comment. This would help me and
my secretary to be able to do our work and be able to tell who's comment it
is. We are in different lacation and can't always talk to each other on the
spur of the moment. If we can change the color of the comment indicator then
it would be simple to be able to see at a glance who's comment it is.
The comment lines in Exel VBA editor is green by default, is it possible to change the color?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking to have a select few cells generate a comment when the user changes their value. I don't want the entire sheet to be affected as it will only apply to the header row of columns J:P.
I'm not sure if it matters but I have the worksheet protected and the cells in question are unlocked.
Below is an example of the code I'm trying to get to work.
Option Explicit
Public preValue As Variant
Private Sub worksheet_change(ByVal Target As Range)
End Sub
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Target.ClearComments

I want to write some code if a cells comment changes. Worksheet change doesn't fire if you right click a cell and edit the comment and save it. Is there an event that does fire when the comment changes?
View 2 Replies View Relatedinability to set a default row height and still allow the occasional row that requires more space (i.e., one of it's cells has multiple lines of wrapped text) to AutoFit if necessary.
Say you have the data shown in NormalSettings.png in an Excel file (see attachments) and you want to have a little more room between the shorter rows, but not have them all set as big as the expanded rows. One way to do this in bulk is to select the entire spreadsheet and set a fixed row height, but this chops off any cells that require more space than your default height (see FixedRowHeight20.png). The only way to fix this is to manually scan through your sheet and individually select all rows with cells that need more room than your preferred row height and AutoFit them (good luck if your spreadsheet is any size...) . If you try selecting the entire sheet and choose Format-Row-Autofit, you're back to the crowded display shown in 'NormalSettings.png'.
My workaround to this annoying problem is this: choose a column that you're not using (I just select the very last column in the sheet by holding down CTRL and pressing the right arrow until the screen stops moving) and highlight the entire column by selecting the column header. Then increase the font size for that column...voila, even your blank rows will now AutoFit to the new font size rather than the font size you are using for your data...effectively increasing your default row height without sacrificing AutoFit capabilities. I find that using 16 as a dummy font size makes my data (which is font size 10, Arial) look nicely spaced out, but experiment and try stuff until you find what you like!

I am setting the fill color of a cell by setting the .Interior.Color property and using the RGB() VBA function. My VBA code saves the spreadsheet in Excel2003 format at the end of the creation process. This has worked great and my spreadsheets looked correct when reopened in Excel 2007. When these same spreadsheet files are opened in Excel 2003 the colors are all very different. Does Excel 2003 handle colors differently than Excel 2007? Is there a preferred way to specify colors that will work on both platforms?
I have attached a specific example. The color is #B4CF27 or RGB(180, 207, 39). When I open this sheet in Excel 2007 the color is a shade of green (the desired color). When I open it on Excel 2003 I get yellow. I tried swapping the red and blue values thinking there might be some byte ordering issue and it does not produce the yellow on Excel 2007.
I want to set the default row height as 20.0 (not excel's standard 15.0). When I delete the contents in a cell that has Wrap Text property enabled, the row always reverts back to default height of 15.0 and this is too small. Is there a way to chnage the default?

I'm trying to change the default colour palette for "fill colour" and "font colour". The way I've been doing it before, is to have a spreadsheet with the colour palette I want in my XLSTART folder, and then when I open a new document, going to tools->options->color->copy colors from, and selecting that spreadsheet.
However, this is a pain, and I was wondering if I can just set the colour palette to have my colour scheme already there, whenever I create a new spreadsheet.

How can I change the default settings I get with a new Excel document?
