format comment options missing

Question

Hello,

I'm using Excel 2010 and I want to insert a picture/graphic into a comment. I just watched a video on how to do this.

http://www.vidorial.com/videos/office/ms_office_2010/excel_2010/224-1-excel_2010_bilder_in_kommentarfelder_einfuegen

Unfortunately, the only options I have when I click "format comment" is "font".

Help appreciated.

Answer 1

when you have the comment in edit mode

the cursor is not activated inside the comment.

You must, place the cursor in the perimeter (you can see three arrows left-top-right)

and then press right click.

Answer 2

Thank youTasosK, it works... This feature is very well hidden indeed.

Answer 3

Thanks TasosK for your reply.

When rightclicking on the comment and clicking on "Format Comment", I get a box as seen on the picture I linked to (If anyone MS-related cares about links to google:)).

The options available in the videos are not there. I tried to click on the comment's frame to change the diagonal lines to little dots as describes in video 2, but whenever I rightclick the comment they turn into diagonals again.

Is there something wrong with my Excel?
