While it's true that Microsoft Excel is everyone's first choice when it comes to spreadsheets, it's got a long way to go when you need to leave comments. Short of printing out pages and slapping sticky notes onto them, is there any way to leave more than just cryptic text notes on Excel files? Sure there is -- it's called XLnotes, and it's today's discount software promotion.
XLnotes lets you include images, formatted text, and attachments in your Microsoft Excel comments, making collaboration more robust and rewarding. With XLnotes, you can create multiple notes for each cell, each containing fully-featured Word documents, file attachments, even web pages, allowing you to add many layers of useful data to your otherwise boring spreadsheets.
Installing XLnotes gives you a new notes tab right inside of Microsoft Excel. When you want to add a note, just click a button and you have your choice of a text note, a web page, or an attachment! Text notes are fully realized Word documents complete with formatting, while web pages can either be copies of web pages or bookmarks. Lastly, an attachment note has a link to the file on your local drive. The content of any note can be imported and exported to cells, comments, and files easily.

- Review what others have to say...
- “The tremendous value of XLnotes is not merely that it enables one to record notes (like the dumb-downed and cumbersome Comments function in Excel), but that it enables users to do much more. Though this is an exaggeration, you have turned Excel into more or less an XLnotes add-in! Excel is a just a spreadsheet. Big deal. With XLnotes, things get interesting: flexible, innovative, unique, etc. There is no other product of its kind available.”
- “Cool! I can hardly wait to get started. This is exactly what we need. XLnotes will turn Excel into a killer PIM.”
- “I'm using XLNotes for all my university classes (for one thing, I insert photos of all the students next to their names), and having this unique add-in is proving to be a major convenience.”
- “Excel will soon become my official PIM (yes, a spreadsheet, with a multifunctional note pane, makes an excellent PIM).”
- “I am happily using the program right now, and it is just what we need. It looks like I can stop using UltraRecall, AskSam, etc.”
