What you are seeing are footnotes. Look at the bottom of the table; the
footnotes are there.

Well, I currently have a word table that has some of those comments in the
table heading and they work just like they do in Excel. I'm just trying
to
add some more of them and I can't fiigure out how it is done.
I've attached a sample document for your pleasure. To see the effect,
hover
in the column heading for Actor, etc.

Cheers.

There is no such thing in Word. You can insert a comment in a table
cell by using the Insert Comment command, but it doesn't behave much
like Excel's comments.

How can I insert comments in a table cell that behave like cell comments
in
Excel? (i.e.; The little yellow message pop-ups when you hover over the
cell)

I can't find a Word help topic that explains this.

Thank you
Jim
