Format Autoshape Contents
Can the format for the text and background of an autoshape be a function of
the value in a cell? I know the text in the autoshape can be a function of the text in a cell, but the format of the text in the autoshape seems to only have manual adjustments. |

You can't connect the Autoshape's formatting to a cell's contents. You
could use an event procedure to change the autoshape, if the content of a specific cell changes.

That sounds like VB macros and coding, which I have been trying to steer
clear of! I imagine I'll have to do it now. Thanks for your response. "Debra Dalgleish" wrote: You can't connect the Autoshape's formatting to a cell's contents.
