Haven't done any real testing but something like this perhaps?


set AllSheets to (sheets of active workbook)
repeat with EachSheet in AllSheets
	set rngComments to areas of (special cells (used range of active

	repeat with EachRange in rngComments
		display dialog (Excel comment text of Excel comment of EachRange)
	end repeat
end repeat
