SYMPTOMS
When you use one of the templates from Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition, the comments in the templates may be truncated.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the size of the Comment object is too small.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, enlarge the size of the comment. To resize a comment, follow these steps:
 * 1) Hold down CONTROL and click the cell containing the comment.

NOTE: The cell containing the comment will have a red marker in the upper-right corner of the cell.
 * 1) Click Edit Comment on the menu that appears.

The comment will be activated.
 * 1) Resize the comment by dragging one of the handles.
 * 2) When you have finished resizing the comment, click any other cell on the worksheet.

To view the newly resized comment, move your pointer over the cell that contains the comment that you just resized.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Excel 98.
