Is there an easier function/process to copy cell comments and paste directly
into a cell as text, without having to edit the comment first and select the
required text manually? Copy and paste comments does not work, it merely
keeps the same character when pasted into a new cell.

If commrange Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "no comments found"
Exit Sub

For Each mycell In commrange
If mycell.Offset(0, 1).Value = "" Then
mycell.Offset(0, 1).Value = mycell.Comment.Text
End If
Next mycell

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Select the cells in question and run nthis small macro:

Sub comment_setter()
Dim r As Range, rr As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set r = Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeComments)
If r Is Nothing Then
MsgBox ("no comments found")
Exit Sub
End If

For Each rr In r
rr.Value = rr.comment.Text
Next
End Sub
 
Perfect - thank you
