All changes (formula additions)within the referenced cell
are reflected in the text box, which is handy. BUT here is
an interesting observation... I was able to bold the
contents of the text box by bolding the cell I referenced,
only once though. If that was at possible, does anyone
know how it could be duplicated? As formating linked to
the text box would be extremely useful any ideas would be
appreciated?

TIA

That's correct.

Thanks, that works but apparently you can only build
references to a single
cell and can not build a formula. Ex. you can have
=A10 but not =A10+B10.
Is this correct?
Thanks, Will

...

A text box can contain a cell reference --

Enter the formula in a cell on the worksheet
Create a text box.
Click on the text box to select it
Click in the formula bar, and type an equal sign
Click on the cell that contains the formula
Press the Enter key

I have heard you can put string arithmetic formula in
text boxes. How do
you do this? For example I would like to add the
contents of three cells
as follows:
=B1&DOLLAR(B3,2)&B2
Thanks Will
