When you create discussions in Microsoft Excel 2000 or in Microsoft PowerPoint 2000, you do not
have the choice of creating a discussion at a marked location within the
document.

To work around this issue, use the following procedures.

In Excel 2000
When you post your discussion, put the sheet and/or cell reference into
the text of the discussion.

In PowerPoint 2000
Use one of the following methods:
| • | Open the document as the author, and add notes to the Notes
pane. |

Back to the top
You do not have the choice of creating a discussion at a marked location
within Excel 2000 worksheets or PowerPoint 2000 slides, because the structure of Excel 2000 allows for hundreds of worksheets in a workbook, and several thousand
cells for each worksheet. Because of the complexity of the Excel 2000 design,
Office discussions cannot apply to each worksheet or cell in a given
workbook.
PowerPoint 2000 also has the ability to create several slides in any given
presentation. Office discussions cannot apply to each slide in a
presentation.
