Adding a picture to a cell

I would like to attach a picture to a single cell so that when I hover over the cell the picture will appear.

At the moment I am left with a huge picture taking over my sheet! Help

RE: Adding a picture to a cell

Hi Joanna

Thanks for getting in touch. This can be done via cell comments.

Right-click any cell and you will get the option to Insert Comment. Usually this is used for a text annotation. Once one has been inserted, click the border of the comment until it turns into dots (you'll know what I mean when you see it). Right-click the border and choose Format Comment.

On this new dialogue box, go to Colors and Lines and drop-down Fill Color. Choose Fill Effects and Picture. From here you should be able to browse for a picture to use as the pop-up.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
