Add a picture to an Excel cell

Q When using Windows XP, I was able to copy a picture from a file and add it to a comment relating to a particular cell on an Excel spreadsheet.

I'm now using Windows Vista Basic and would like to be able to do the same. Is this still possible using Vista Basic, and second, if it is possible would you remind me of the procedure?

A The version of Windows is irrelevant ­ it’s the version of Excel that matters.

The most recent versions allow you to do it.

Right-click on a cell and choose insert Comment. Highlight your name, if it appears, and press Delete.

Hover on the edge of the Comment box until a double-headed arrow appears.

Right-click and choose Format Comment. Click the Colors and Lines Tab.

Click the down arrow near the Fill Color: box.

Choose Fill Effects and then the Picture tab. Click the Select Picture button, which takes you to your My Pictures folder.

From there, navigate to the picture of your choice and select it and click Insert and OK twice.

Chances are the picture will be distorted so correct this by dragging out the sides of the Comment box.
