Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Try something simple like this in your sheet module, using a message box as the medium.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim c As Comment
Set c = Target.Comment
On Error Resume Next
If Not c Is Nothing Then
MsgBox c.Text, , "The comment in this cell is..."
End If
End Sub

Another way

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.DisplayCommentIndicator = xlCommentIndicatorOnly
On Error Resume Next
ActiveCell.Comment.Visible = True

End Sub
