SUMMARY
You can copy text, values, or formulas from an Excel 3.0 spreadsheet into cell notes, provided you select the data you want to copy in the formula bar itself. Selecting a cell and choosing Copy from the Edit menu will not work. In addition, to actually paste the data into the note, you will need to use SHIFT+INSERT because you will not have access to the Edit menu while in the Note dialog box. Step-by-step instructions follow.

MORE INFORMATION

 * 1) Highlight the information you want to copy in the formula bar and from the Edit menu, choose Copy (or press CTRL+INSERT).
 * 2) Press ESC to leave edit mode.
 * 3) Select the cell of the note you want to paste information into, and from the Formula menu, choose Note.
 * 4) With the blinking cursor in the Note box, press SHIFT+INSERT.
