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.

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.

    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?
