When adding a cell comment in LibreOffice Calc then saving as .xls file type for later re-loading into MS Excel - the comments appear on the screen but not on the print preview. Comments saved in .xls from Excel load, display and print correctly in Calc but not the other way around. Given a mix of Calc or Excel contributions to an .xls file, LibreOffice is capable of displaying any comments on the normal screen and print preview screen, but and comments Calc generates are displayed on the normal screen in Excel, but not on the Print preview - nor the final print out. I have checked the correct settings in Excel to print the comments as seen on the screen, rather than end of the file. Some might say this is a fault with MS Excel.. but seeing as Calc is capable of loading, displaying and re-saving the "excel native" cell comments without problem, but appears to be unable to generate its own cell comments for successful print preview display in excel.

You can't confirm your own bugs. Moving it back to UNCONFIRMED until someone else confirms it.
Title was "Cell comments saved as .xls don't show when loaded in Excel". But they do show, they don't print, only with Excel print option "as displayed on sheet". They do print from Excel print option "at the end of sheet". I'm not sure if this is LO or MSO bug. But if we take Initial .xls file (created in LO and saved in MSO) and than resave in LO (I tried raal's print comments option) MSO 2013 will print neither. So there's an incompatibility here. Most simple test is to create .XLS with shown comment in LO (even OO where it started), open it in MSO and see in Print Preview that there's no comment when "as displayed on sheet" option is chosen. I'll confirm but feel free to explain why this may not be LO bug.
