Everytime I try to put comments in any of the cells in Excel a name appears. I do not want the name to appear by default. How to do this?

Thanks.

Hi Anil,

It is very simple. Just select the name in the box & delete it and then enter your comment. Try it...

Regards

Change the name excel uses in options Settings:

Tools|Options|General Tab

Change the user name to your choice or remove the name or to appear blank put single spacebar.

Thanks Dashrath sir.

I found the link you have mentioned.

I found user name. deleted it since I dont want any names to appear. clicked on ok. and exited excel 2007.

When I started Excel 07 again it asked me for user name and initial to be put in the pop box. I left it blank and said ok. No if I try to put comment the earlier name still appears. I dont want any name to appear in comment by default. Where am I going wrong?

Thanks.
