Default Name Define

Ken this is going to sound a bit weird

Highlight it with your mouse. Doing this allows it to slide back and forth
across the formula. Once you're in the area you have to edit click to
unhighlight and edit the portion you need to.

Sounds weird. But when weird works who's gonna argue?

Hi ,

I have a rather long formula which has been given a name.

I need to edit it occasionally but when I choose INSERT - NAME - DEFINE and
choose the "name" the formula appears in the refer box as expected. However
only the first 63 characters can be edited. I cannot scroll along to the
remaining characters. At the moment I am having to rewrite the formula
again.

Anyway around this without resorting to writing the formula into a cell
rather than the defined name?
