Can Comments be automatically converted to text cell values?
I have a large number of cells with Comments. I'd like to basically convert the Comments to text values in cells (in a column right next to the cells that have the Comments). Is there a function or other tool for doing this in Excel 2000?

Hi Tom,
You can use a User Defined Function to do that.

How can I change 'Normal' Style for Word e-mails to 'Normal (Web)'?
