In particular the last part as this explains how to make sure the Bilingual Excel filetype is actually being used for your translation.

Thanks for your prompt reply Paul.

I am definitely using the Bilingual Excel file type.

Displaying a long list of comments isn't what I'm after though. As per my initial question, I am looking for a way of displaying the contents of each column H cell for each segment/TU as I work my way through the Studio Editor window (instead of just offering C or TER+).

Displaying a list of comments requires a double-click on each comment to make the focus jump to the matching segment/TU. Also, I noticed that Studio 'bundles' the comments together – apparently every time the contents in column H change, but I’m not certain. My Excel file contains 4087 rows (with all cells in question populated) and Studio generated 219 comments.

It seems I’m asking for functionality that just isn’t there. Shame though, would have been a helpful feature in this scenario.

Then don't make them comments.  Put them in as Document Structure. Then if you also use this plugin you can see them as you work without having to do any scrolling:

What's more if you use the Community Advanced Display Filter you can also filter and search on them:

appstore.sdl.com/.../

Thanks Paul!

Works fine now. The problem was that the first line of column H, the one I am using as the document structure column, was empty so that Studio couldn't find a column name for it.
