Comments in cells not good in Numbers 3.0

Question

I have spreadsheets. Obviously with figures in different cells. Prior to this upgrade, I have several cells that have comments entered into them. Specifically the cell would contain a total dollar figure. The comment would contain the invoices that made up the total. And I would leave the comment open with the window dragged to the edge of the sheet. Very conventient, as the Comment Window could be sized to diplay whatever was desired. And I could enlarge the box enough to see its entire contents.
Now all that remain visible is the Comment Indicator. Put the cursor over the indicator and the comment displays directly above the cell. No way to move the comment box and to keep it open. Also the size is small enough that it will only display 5 lines. No way to resize the box. In order to see the entire contents, the Comment Box must be scrolled so that anything entered on the top, scrolls out of site. The scoll bar disappears almost immediately. So to scroll, I have to click somewhere in the text of the Comment, and use the up and down arrows to scroll.
Very unfriendly modification to what used to work perfectly.
There are also left and right arrows in the comment box. Is it really necessary to have scroll arrows to jump to the next or prior cell with a comment?

Answer 1

Numbers is good. It there is a small learning curve to be expected. And I do not expect it to be the same as Excel, which I used extensively creating some very elaborate database spreadsheets for controlling a precious metals inventory.
If I wanted the exact Excel, then why not just use Excel. Once I gave Numbers a chance, it got better and proved itself useful. I was not ready to give up on Apple's venture into Excel's territory. I am so old that I remember using VisiCalc on the Apple II+. Wow, I am old.
But to see Apple totally ignore some functions is unacceptable. This comment box thing. Why in the world would they change is from before? Were people complaining because they could move the box? or were they complaining that they could resize the box? There are things they have seemingly changed just for the sake of changing. Not because there is an improvment.
And there are quite a few people whom ask about the  'select print area' function, familiar to Excel users. It is so simple to use, why not include a similar Numbers function like this? I know they cannot call it the same thing without some sort of reprecussions from M/S. But why do they plant there feet in the sand and refuse to bend. It is like the programers are litttle kids throwing a tantrum.
