When I inserted a note at a cell the box would show <Owner:>. Since I'm not sharing this spreadsheet there was no reason to show who inserted the note; deleting "Owner:" from the box was an additional annoying step I had to take, so...
I went to <File/Options/General/Personalize...> and deleted the text "Owner". I tested it - inserted a note - and "Owner:" still popped up, so I went back through the steps and instead inserted a couple of blank spaces instead of "Owner". Progress, except now when I insert a note the box defaults to < :>. Progress, yes, except now I STILL have to delete the pesky colon.
Is there any way to edit the Notes box so it's blank, with no text and no colon?
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
There is no way of changing the default behaviour that I know of.
However you could use VBA to create the Note without the Author.
