I have an Excel 2002 worksheet that I created a few years ago, and I can't
remember how I got a certain cells to do what it's doing.

Whenever you select that cell, a box appears just below that cell that looks
like a comment box, but without the connecting arrow.  But unlike a comment
box, this one doesn't appear when you hover the cursor above the cell.  It
only appears when you select the cell; and it remains visible as long as the
selection cursor remains in the cell, regardless of where you move the
cursor.

I dont' think it's any kind of a comment box, because when you right-click
on the cell, you can still select "Insert Comment" and create a separate
comment box, so that when you hover the cursor over the cell, the new
Comment box is visible, and when you click on the cell to make it the
current selection, the other mystery box appears.

Like a regular comment box, this one has a light yellow background, and you
can format the text you write in it, because I notice that I was able to set
some of the characters to a bold font.  I just can't figure out how I
created that type of box.  I would like to reproduce this so I can use this
type of box as an alternative to the regular comment boxes in some of my
worksheets.

How do you create these boxes that look like comment boxes, but without the
connecting arrow and that only display when you actually select the cell?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
