How do you insert a hyperlink into a comment box using Microsoft Excel?

Question

I need to link another file to a spreadsheet, but I want the link to appear in a comment box, not in a seperate cell.

Answer 1

Since the user cannot click in the comment box anyway, it would be moot to insert a hyperlink.

But a comment is editable by more than just font. You can change the color and the border too. You can even use the Fill Effects under color to add a picture as the background.

Answer 2

There's no way to add anything to a comment beyond modifying font attributes. You can't add clipart or hyperlinks - just different fonts and sizes. Your best bet is probably just to leave directions in the comment (i.e. "See the January worksheet for more information" or something like that).

Answer 3

create the comment and stick the link into the comment.
