Comment visibility in open/libre office spreadsheets

1

I'm getting moderately perturbed by how difficult it is to see whether there's a comment in a cell in LibreOffice. As it stands a tiny box appears in the upper right-hand corner in the cell. Does anyone know of a setting/plugin to improve this? I'm dealing with an enormous spreadsheet and lots of comments and I'm getting tired of squinting. >.< To the degree that they differ, a solution for either LibreOffice or OpenOffice will do as I have access to both.

AFAIK there's no way to modify the layout of the "comment indicator". But you can use the Navigator Window to quickly move between comments (you may toggle the "Navigator" using F5 or menu View -> Navigator):

Another option may be to show the comments permanently; but you will have to toggle this for every comment, using the cell's context menu -> Show Comment.

That works and is about as close to an answer as I'm gonna get. Many thanks! – neanderslob – 2015-05-14T09:15:12.280
