Restricting and annotating cell data
You can restrict a cell so that Quattro Pro read the data in the cell as a specific data type, regardless of what the data is.
Adding comments to cells lets you add notes to explain data without cluttering the spreadsheet. Cells with an attached comment display a red triangle in the upper-right corner. By default, cell comments do not print with a spreadsheet, but you can set up the page view to show and print comments on the spreadsheet. For information about printing comments with the spreadsheet, see “To print cell comments.”
This is an example of cell comments.
Once you have created a cell comments, you can change its attributes.
