NOTE: Microsoft Excel 97 and Microsoft Excel 98 no longer use cell notes;
cell comments replace cell notes. However, you can use the sample macros in
this article to count the cell comments on a worksheet or in a selection.
For additional information about working with cell comments with a macro in
Microsoft Excel 97 and Microsoft Excel 98, please see the following article
