Word 03 question

I've seen this in excel where in the corner of the cell there's a tiny arrow. When you click on it you get a pop up. I believe these are called comments.:confused So is there a way to make these pop up comments in Word? I have a document with an inventory list and want to add some info but don't want to clutter the whole thing up. If pop ups aren't an option, is there something else? And am I right with saying these are comments in excel? Thanks

 

Yes, they are called comments. However, you merely hover over them to display their content, you do not click on them.

Yes, Comments can be inserted in Word, but they work differently than how they work in Excel. I don't believe you can get pop-ups as in Excel; it's a bit more manual in the way it works. I haven't used Comments much in Word, so I don't consider myself an expert on the subject. I suggest you just use Help in Word and search on Comments. That will give you some info on Comments.

 

Thanks guys. Halo, I think I'm gonna try something like you said. I'll see how that goes. BUT, while I have your attention, I've seen comments in an excel sheet where you could actually make a choice, as in filling in info for an inventory. I wish I had an example. When the comment came up, I would be able to choose, let's say, a specific model printer. The sheet made a really nice template, considering there were several sites with lot's of different equipment. Do you guys know how to make a comment like that, with choices?

Thanks again for all the help.
