Adding a note
Notes are similar to comments, except that they do not need to be associated with a change. Authors and reviewers often use notes to exchange ideas, ask for suggestions, or brainstorm in the document. To add a note:
-
Select the cell that the note applies to.
-
Select Insert > Note. The box shown in Figure 117 appears.

-
Type the text of your note in the box.
-
Click outside the box to close it.
Now the cell you added the comment to has a colored dot in the corner, as shown in Figure 118.

TIP
|
You can change the colors Calc uses for notes by selecting Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Appearance.

To view the note you just added, follow the same procedure as for viewing a comment. Hover the mouse pointer over the cell that has a note; the note appears, as shown in Figure 119.
