            Worksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];

Step 2: Set two font styles which will be used in comments.

            ExcelFont font1 = workbook.CreateFont();
            font1.FontName = "Calibri";
            font1.Color = Color.Firebrick;
            font1.IsBold = true;
            font1.Size = 12;
            ExcelFont font2 = workbook.CreateFont();
            font2.FontName = "Calibri";
            font2.Color = Color.Blue;
            font2.Size = 12;
            font2.IsBold = true;

Step 3: Add comment 1 and set its size, text, position and alignment.

            ExcelComment Comment1 = sheet.Range["F5"].Comment;
            Comment1.IsVisible = true;
            Comment1.Height = 150;
            Comment1.Width = 300;
            Comment1.RichText.Text = "Spire.XLS for .Net:\nStandalone Excel component to meet your needs for conversion, data manipulation, charts in workbook etc. ";
            Comment1.RichText.SetFont(0, 19, font1);
            Comment1.TextRotation = TextRotationType.LeftToRight;
            //set the position of Comment
            Comment1.Top = 20;
            Comment1.Left = 40;
            //set the alignment of text in Comment
            Comment1.VAlignment = CommentVAlignType.Center;
            Comment1.HAlignment = CommentHAlignType.Justified;

Step 4: Add comment2 and set its size, text, position and alignment for comparison.

            ExcelComment Comment2= sheet.Range["F14"].Comment;
            Comment2.IsVisible = true;
            Comment2.Height = 150;
            Comment2.Width = 300;
            Comment2.RichText.Text = "About E-iceblue: \nWe focus on providing excellent office components for developers to operate Word, Excel, PDF, and PowerPoint documents.";
            Comment2.TextRotation = TextRotationType.LeftToRight;
            Comment2.RichText.SetFont(0, 16, font2);
            Comment2.Top = 170;
            Comment2.Left = 450;
            Comment2.VAlignment = CommentVAlignType.Top;
            Comment2.HAlignment = CommentHAlignType.Justified;

Step 5: Save the document and launch to see effect.

            workbook.SaveToFile("S3.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2010);
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("S3.xlsx");
