Description Winfried Donkers 2011-12-05 02:01:59 UTC 
The help text covering 'Inserting Notes' states that notes can be inserted in writer, calc, draw and impress. Then it states that the name of the author and the date/time are shown at the bottom of the note.
This is not correct for calc. Neither author, nor date/time are in notes, unles the author puts them there).

I assume that it is a bug in het help text and not in the behaviour of calc.
However, the functionality as stated in the help text would be welcome in calc.

I will be trying to give notes in calc a date/time/author stamp, just as in writer.
Comment 2 Roman Eisele 2012-05-03 09:15:41 UTC 
This is a Calc issue, therefore changed 'Component' field accordingly.
Comment 3 Winfried Donkers 2012-05-11 08:48:23 UTC 
Adding date/time/author stamp to notes in calc proved to be too big a job, as it has a lot more consequences that with the notes in writer, where several users can each add a note.
Therefore I quit working on the code and I hope that the help text will represent the actual behaviour of calc.

With "Inserting Notes" do you mean to INSERT -> COMMENTS?

If yes, I could not find your questioned information in the corresponding online LO help, but I could find it in the offline help (LO 4.3.4.1, English UK UI/help).

Yes, I mean insert comments.
The help text I mentioned in Description is the offline help.

Reproducible with LO 4.3.4.1, English UK UI/help, Win 8.1
