Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
or try this..

Code:
[I][COLOR=#ff0000]Place this code in the SHEET module and then double click on any cell to test[/COLOR][/I]
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    Dim OldComment As String, NewComment As String
    Cancel = True
    If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    
    If Not Target.Comment Is Nothing Then
        OldComment = Target.Comment.Text
        Target.Comment.Delete
    End If
    NewComment = InputBox("Amend or delete comment", "", OldComment)
    If Not NewComment = vbNullString Then Target.AddComment Text:=NewComment
End Sub

Try this:
I added three lines of code to posting made by previous poster.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    'Modified 6/24/18 2:41 AM EDT
    Dim OldComment As String, NewComment As String
    Cancel = True
    If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    
    If Not Target.Comment Is Nothing Then
        OldComment = Target.Comment.Text
        Target.Comment.Delete
    End If
    NewComment = InputBox("Amend or delete comment", "", OldComment)
    If Not NewComment = vbNullString Then Target.AddComment Text:=NewComment
    
    Target.Comment.Shape.TextFrame.Characters.Font.Size = 16  'New Line of code
    Target.Comment.Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True  ' New Line of code
    Target.Comment.Shape.Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 3  'New line of code
End Sub

'You can modify to your exact needs.

I missed one part.

Try this instead of my previous post:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    'Modified 6/24/18 7:11 AM EDT
    Dim OldComment As String, NewComment As String
    Cancel = True
    If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    
    If Not Target.Comment Is Nothing Then
        OldComment = Target.Comment.Text
        Target.Comment.Delete
    End If
    NewComment = InputBox("Amend or delete comment", "", OldComment)
    If Not NewComment = vbNullString Then
    Target.AddComment Text:=NewComment
    
    Target.Comment.Shape.TextFrame.Characters.Font.Size = 16  'New Line of code
    Target.Comment.Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True  ' New Line of code
   Target.Comment.Shape.Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 3  'New line of code
End If
End Sub
