Calc lets you attach notes to individual cells . Notes are a great tool for elaborating on cell contents without putting all that extra information in cells, especially when the cell contains a formula. Notes are also good for suggesting that changes be made to cells.

1. Select the cell you want to attach a note to.

2. Choose Insert > Note.

   A small popup box with a yellow background appears.

3. Type the text of the note in the popup box.

   You can press Enter to break to a new line in the note box.

4. When you're finished, click outside the note box to insert the note.

   A tiny red nonprinting square is displayed in the upper right corner of the cell to indicate that a note is attached to the cell.

To view the note, select or move the mouse pointer onto the cell. The note displays in a popup window, as shown in Figure 23-5.

To modify a note, select the cell, right-click, choose Show Note, and change the note contents. To delete the note, simply delete the entire contents of the note.
