Formatting Comments

You can change the background color, border style, transparency, and other attributes of a comment.

1. Right-click the cell containing the comment marker and choose Show Comment from the pop-up menu.
2. Click on the comment itself. The Formatting toolbar and the Sidebar Properties pane change to show many comment formatting options. These are the same options for formatting graphics; see Chapter 5 (Using Graphics in Calc) for more information.
   You can also right-click on the comment to see a menu of choices, some of which lead to dialogs where you can fine-tune the formatting. These dialogs are also discussed in Chapter 5.
3. When done, click outside the comment to deselect it. To hide the comment again, right-click on the cell and deselect Show Comment from the pop-up menu.
