Switching from Quattro Pro

[Michael Gula]

Cells in Quattro Pro containing a formula display a mark in the lower
left-hand corner. Holding the cursor over that mark causes a pop-up to
reveal the formula. (They are called formula markers.)

I thought Excel had a similar feature but, if it does, I haven't found
the way to turn it on.

Does it?

The only thing I know is if you hit Ctrl+~ or (Tools->Options, View tab,
click Formulas, OK) it will display all of the formulas. You can also click

Oh, Excel also has comments which sound like what you are describing, except
they do not have anything to do with formulas (Insert->Comment).
