What is this Excel feature?

When I look at the MS Office Template called LoanAmortization1 (for
Excel 2007), it has a feature that I do not recognize.

What is it? How was it created (i.e. what keystrokes)? And how can I
edit it? Is this feature limited to Excel 2007?

When I select cell D10, an explanation pops up. It looks like a
comment, but I believe it is not. There is no red triangle in a
corner of the cell; the explanation does not up when I simply hover
the mouse cursor over the cell; and when I right-click, the menu shows
Insert Comment, not Edit Comment. Also, the template has no macros.

I should note that although the template was originally created and
saved as an Excel 2007 file, someone "converted" (saved) it to an
Excel 2003 file for me, and I am using Office Excel 2003 to access it.

Sounds like a data validation input message.
