Numbers on Mac ( Create and edit comment )

Hello

I use numbers every day for budgeting purposes since 10 years.

I have recently noticed there is a comment icon at top of task bar within

Numbers. So after inserting a comment within any cell, I found it convenient to make notes within specific cells which I have payments due on, which gives me a reminder as to more specific info about that payment.

So, my question is when I create a new comment is it possible to highlight a specific part of my comment not the entire comment?

Thanks Hope you can help!

I was confused by your use of "comment" when you were referring to the notes you were making in a cell. It sounds like you want to highlight a section of your text in the cell and make a comment for it, like you might do when marking up a Word document. Comments are only for the entire cell, though.

The only idea I have that would be even close to what you are asking is to use superscripts and then use those same numbers in the comment. It is not as simple by a long shot but it's all I got. You can put the superscript icon on the toolbar right next to the comment icon to make it simpler. Or use "Control Shift Command +" (not "Control Command +" as shown in the menu system because it does something very different).

No, that does not seem possible. Comments seem to best suited for short notes. If you need something longer that you can format, you could try using a Text Box.
