Alternatively, please follow these following steps:

1. To use the commenting options, go to the Review tab and choose New Comment. Anew text box will emerge, with the user's name and an insertion point at the beginning of a new line below the user's name. 

2. Insert your text in the text box.

3. Then, to finish editing, click outside the cell. At the right corner of the cell, an inverted little red triangle will emerge. The triangle helps you find the cell that has a remark.
