SUMMARY

When you use the shared lists feature by clicking the Allow Multi-User Editing check box on the Editing tab of the Shared Lists dialog box, the Note command on the Insert menu is available and you can enter text in the Text Note box in the Cell Note dialog box. However, this text is not saved in a cell note, and the following error message appears:

   This command is not available with a shared file. Open the file in
   exclusive mode.

Clicking OK closes both the error message and the Cell Note Dialog box without saving the entered text.
