First thought...excellent! (My company uses Excel for totally inappropriate text uses)

Second thought....if embedding images, documents and links in a single file, just how huge is that file going to be? (It's no use if it's too big to go through the email system).

Developer...can you say a little about file size please, as I can find nothing on your web site that addresses this.

Hi, Paul, you can't see the notes without xl Notes installed, but you can work with the workbook with earlier versions
of Excel or with Excel with no add-in installed - it won't affect your notes. In general xl Notes doesn't affect any Excel feature including file formats - you will have traditional .xls or .xlsx files, where notes are stored on a hidden sheet.

The installer required me having to accept each part of the install as it adds several components before installing the actual package. This could have been made clearer, or even done automatically.

And, unfortunately it only works with Excel 2007. :(

When I saw the blurb describing this program, I thought to myself, "Yeah! This is something I could really use”, and was pleased to see it being given away for free".

Unfortunately I'm still using Office 2003. (I can't afford to upgrade to Office 2007 {retirement has forced me to be thrifty}, so today's program is useless). It's a pity you haven't made this package Office 2003 friendly as I could see it being a likely candidate for purchase later.

I usually purchase the software I've got from the giveaway project if I find it's ‘really useful’, which this package looks like it could be to me;(and I'm sure many others also purchase giveaways when they've found them to be indispensable)? On the face of it this definitely seemed like a likely candidate.

I'm sure there are many users out there that haven’t bothered to upgrade to Office 2007 for many reasons, and I think you are losing a valuable source of revenue.

#2 Yes, you can use any Excel file formats
#3 Great you liked it! You have exactly the same problem as we had - Excel was used extensively but it was always pain to have anything except numbers into Excel worksheets. Empirically we came to an average size of 50-70 mb files which works well on a lo/mid-end PC. Actually they can be bigger if you have little number of big notes. In this case its ok even to embed 700 mb files. Actually text notes, images and links are quite compact - file size can even get smaller if you convert your comments into notes.
#5,6 Unfortunately, most of the package size are required components, the add-in itself is quite small. The reason for manual installation is only stability issues as we has some problems with silent install on different systems.
