Yes, Brian, thanks for your helpful explanation.

I was curious; that I must go looking for these "Notes", because I did not knowingly write any!

As far as I am concerned, it is not necessary that the Comments/Notes be displayed, until I need a reminder of what I was thinking at the time that I wrote the Calc formula for a particular cell. But, I will not turn off the Security Warning.

Thanks again.

Regards,
Vince B.

I don't know why this pop up began about 4 weeks ago. I am told that:
______________
"This document contains:

Notes

Do you want to continue saving the document?
Yes. No. "
______________

I click on Yes, and there doesn't appear to be any special problem occurring. But I do not know where the Notes are located or what they mean! Why am I given this dialog pop up?

Since the embedded comments are not immediately visible, you may be saving this information unknowingly. You are given the option to bring up this warning whenever hidden information is present. To disable the warning, remove the tick from Tools | Options... | OpenOffice | Security | Security warnings | Warn if [...] When saving or sending.

Are Notes equivalent to comments?

As far as I can see, yes: they are generally called Comments but occasionally (confusingly?) referred to as Notes.

I trust this helps.
