Default "empty comment" value for all users (AKA leave empty comments...empty)

432 Views

From the user guide page 184:

The small red triangle does not appear in one of the following cases: the comment is empty; the comment consists in three dots (...); the comment consists in the characters entered in the Empty Comment area in

...and page 432:

optionName parameter newValue parameter Option Name and Path on the Interface DefaultForEmptyComment character string User Options > Others > Empty Comment

Is there a way to set this default "Empty Comment" for all users, from the back end?

The system is saving every comment as '...' by default, which is a lot of unnecessary data for us. I'd like to change this to '', or Don't save empty comments somehow.

Also on page 427

Option sheetOption Option sheetOptionValue Show as Excel Comment 11 TRUE or FALSE

What does this do exactly?
