If you work in Microsoft Word, you may be familiar with the comments feature. It allows you to add comments throughout a document to alert a reader to certain information. For example, an editor can leave comments by certain content in a document to alert the author about specific issues.

You can also add comments to cells in an Excel workbook. The comments are sort of like side notes for a cell. To add a comment, click the appropriate cell within a worksheet. From the Insert menu, click the Comment option. Type in the information you want to appear in the comment and click outside the comment box.
