How do I resize a comment in a libre spreadsheet?

[HughMungus]

I’ve created a comment in a Libre Office 5.3.3.2 spreadsheet, running on Windows 10. It’s very narrow and tall, too tall to be read without scrolling. I’d like to make it considerably wider so that I can view it all without scrolling it. How do I do that?

I’ve tried everything I can think of but I have been unsuccessful in widening it. I’m guessing there’s some “trick” that puts it in resizing mode where there are actual sizing arrows that will change the width but I can’t figure out the trick.

Hello HughMungus, for example:

1. right-click inside the Comment and choose the menu item “Text…”,
2. check the checkbox “Fit width to text”.

or:

1. select your cell that contains the comment,
2. select the menu item “Sheet : Cell Comment : Show Comment”,
3. click inside the Comment and the blue resizing handles appear.

Many thanks, that solved my problem!

You’re welcome @HughMungus, glad to be of help

No matter how many comments I set to “Fit width to text”, every time I make a new comment it’s not enabled by default. It’s very inconvenient.
