Comments partially hidden due to "frozen" columns

[Bob]

I am using Excel 2007. I have "frozen" columns A thru C so they are always
visible when a user scrolls horizontally. I have also added Comments to
several cells in column B.

When a user hovers the mouse cursor over a cell containing a comment in
column B, the comment always appears to the right beginning in column C (and
extends sometimes into columns D & E). However, if a user has scrolled
horizontally to column Z, for example, and then hovers the mouse cursor over
a cell containing a comment in column B, the comment becomes partially hidden.

Is this behavior "normal" or is there something I can do (without utilizing
a macro) that will ensure the entire comment is visible even when a user has
scrolled several columns horizontally to the right?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

It is normal behaviour with Comments and Freeze Panes.

Annoying but normal.

I do not know of a method......VBA or otherwise to overcome it.

Hi Gord,

Thanks for confirming my suspicion.
