How to Print Comments in Excel?

Methods to Print Comments

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 the below report in your excel sheet and you want to print the comments using the 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 are displayed.
We just need to do some settings tuning to get this done.
Print the comments at the end of the Excel sheet
Below are the steps for printing comments at end of the excel sheet –
- Your data should like this.
If you look at the cells from E2 to E8, it contains some comments in it. A little red mark indicating that the cells contain comments in it.
In order to print the comments at the end of the excel sheet first, comments should be appearing by default; otherwise, it will print the comments as is shown in the sheet. - Now go to Page Layout, then Page Set up, and click on the little arrow mark.
- As soon as you click on the bottom right expand arrow, it will open up the below dialogue box.

- Once the “At the end of the sheet” option is selected, you need to click on the Print option.
- Once the print option is selected, it will take you to the print preview section.
On the first page, it will print the report, and on the second page, it will print all the comments. And the final output will be as per the below image.
Print the Comments as Shown in the Active Window

After this, click on the print option, and it will open up the print preview dialogue box. Click on the print option to get the print, and the print will be as shown in the below image.
#2 Using Print Preview Method
