|| OH, NUMBERS! YOU ESCAPE ME ... ||

So I have this ongoing spreadsheet that I work on and sometimes I make a note about a certain item on the sreadsheet. But if I stop typing or move to a different box, and then want to come back and continue my note, Excel won't let me continue. Then, it's pretty much delete what you have, paste the text into a Word document or whatever, finish your comment, and then paste it back into the Excel box, which is insanely inefficient. A phenomenal bug and a PITA.

Is there any way to continue typing in a box you're already working on, but had to leave temporarily? I'd like to come back into the box and continue typing as if it's a Word document, but Excel doesn't seem to allow this.

Any ideas or fixes?

I'd get out my Excel for Dummies book, but it's packed and only God knows where it's located.

I'm running Windows 7 and Excel 2010, fwiw.
