Thank you. Your response and the others have given me enough insight to get
where I needed to go:

If graphics obscure important cells, move the graphics to the right.

I read "fully covered" but misread "or partially".
The function I posted returns true for "fully covers" only, but I see others
have posted enough for you.

Function bCovers(obj As Object, rng As Range) As Boolean
With obj
If .Left <= rng.Left Then
If .Top <= rng.Top Then
If .Left + .Width = rng.Left + rng.Width Then
bCovers = .Top + .Height = rng.Top + rng.Height
End If
End If
End If
End With
End Function

obj as Object to cater for any drawingobject type, eg simply Selection, or
if a Shape, but change to As Shape if you prefer.

I need a simple boolean function that, give the name of a shape and the
address of a single cell, will return TRUE if the cell is fully or
partially
covered by the shape. Otherwise FALSE.

Thanks in advance
