Select a cell:
- Del >> Clears everything including the comment
- Backspace >> Dialog “Delete Contents” >> Uncheck the “Comments” box >> OK >> Clears value/string only.
I didn’t notice this before. Tired of recovering cell comment. Dialog setting does not affect subsequent deletion with the Del key.
Select a cell value. If you select a cell value (e.g. by double-clicking) and press the Del key, the comment will not be deleted.
