You've seen the yellow sticky notes that some people plaster all over their desks. The reason for their popularity is that these notes work well for reminders. You can put them on just about anything, and although they stick for a while, they come right off without removing what's underneath and without leaving sticky gunk behind.

Calc offers the electronic equivalent of these notes. You can attach notes to cells inside your spreadsheets. The notes can remain yours alone, meaning they don't print when you print the sheets, or you can print the notes for others to see when you print the spreadsheet's contents.

TIP

Suppose you notice an anomaly in a report, such as a division's forecast is lower than expected. You can attach a note to that cell to follow up and find out where the problem lies.

TIP

To edit the note, right-click the cell, select

Show Note , and edit the text that appears. Right-click and deselect

Show Note to hide the note.

When you print your spreadsheet, you must right-click and select

Show Note on any and all cells with notes that you want printed with the spreadsheet.
