How to Print Comments in Excel?

To print comments in excel we need to go to the print section from the files tab and page set up tab where we will find any options to print comments and where we want to display them, whether on the end of the sheet or as they are present in the sheet.

Methods to Print Comments

There are two ways to print our handy comments in excel along with the report.

Using an Excel page layout option.
Using print preview method in Excel.

Again, there are a couple of options to print the comments. We can print the comment at the end of the page or we can print the comment as displayed on the worksheet too.

#1 Print Comments using Excel Page Layout Option

Assume you have a below report in your excel sheet and you want to print the comments using page layout option.

If there are a lot of comments, it is better to print all the comments at the end of the sheet. Printing all the comments in excel after the rest of the data will eliminate the overlapping of the crucial cell comments when the details displayed.
