I am a new user of microsoft excel and being a health professional I
need to use it for my research purposes. I have to put in a lot of
text in each cell of first column for reference of each row.I would
like the entire text in each cell to be on display when I take the
cursor to each cell of the first column. How do I hyperlink the first
two words of the visible text in each cell of first column to the
remaining text typed into that particular cell,so that when I take
the cursor to the first two words in the cell, the remaining text is
displayed in the form of a drop down menu without clicking the
mouse.Also could I make it appear for longer time by clicking it and
then make it disappear by clicking it out . I would greatly
appreciate it If you could answer my question.
thanking you
