This file has notes
Using AAO version 4.1.1m6 (build 9775-rev 1617669) on Win 8.1.1 desktop.
I don't know why this pop up began about 4 weeks ago. I am told that:
______________
"This document contains:
Notes
Do you want to continue saving the document?
Yes. No. "
______________
I click on Yes, and there doesn't appear to be any special problem occurring. But I do not know where the Notes are located or what they mean! Why am I given this dialog pop up?
Are Notes equivalent to comments? Seems that this began after importing a ms excel file into AAO Spreadsheet. The excel file did have several Comments embedded in it, and they are available within the AAO file now, as expected.
Any hints will be appreciated.
Regards,
Vince

You said that you had imported some material from another
spreadsheet: presumably that contained the notes/comments.
o Cells that have comments attached show a small red square - the
"comment indicator" - at the top right of the cell.
o Go to View | Navigator or press F5.
o Expand Comments.
o Double-click the individual comments to select the host cells.
I trust this helps.

Yes, Brian, thanks for your helpful explanation.
I was curious; that I must go looking for these "Notes", because I did
not knowingly write any!
As far as I am concerned, it is not necessary that the Comments/Notes be
displayed, until I need a reminder of what I was thinking at the time
that I wrote the Calc formula for a particular cell. But, I will not
turn off the Security Warning.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Vince B.

Since the embedded comments are not immediately visible, you may be
saving this information unknowingly. You are given the option to
bring up this warning whenever hidden information is present. To
disable the warning, remove the tick from Tools | Options... |
OpenOffice | Security | Security warnings | Warn if [...] When saving
or sending.

As far as I can see, yes: they are generally called Comments but
occasionally (confusingly?) referred to as Notes.
I trust this helps.
