I'm glad you found a solution - sounds like a good workaround.

Word of warning (I'm sure you're already aware), in case someone resizes
a column (obviously they can't if you protect the sheet) you should set
the textbox properties to Move and Resize with cells.

Obviously, if you need to add a new column, you'll have to add a new
textbox. If you use my solution (which has its disadvantages too) it
works off the usedrange - so it requires zero upkeep should you add or
remove columns.

Thanks for your responses guys. Sorry Aidey, but yours wasn't very
helpful, since it ignored my original posting and the word "Easier" in
my subject.

Gareth's was an interesting one; I might use it in the future, but I've
already found a solution, although not an ideal one. Since I couldn't
assign macros to cell text I simply made up text boxes (roughly the
same size as the respective cells) and assigned the macros to them.
Visibly it's all the same, although not the ideal solution from a
programmer's point of view!
