Default I'll try one last time. :(

Hi

For a start ("Can't make cell larger"); you could perhaps insert a textbox
(or any other text capable object) from the Drawing toolbar, select it and
enter
=H1
in Excel's formula bar. Now it shows whatever is in cell H1.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

Situation: Text from another sheet is pulled into a cell. Destination

cell
is too small for entered text to fit. Can't make cell larger. No real
estate left on the sheet.

I tried to format destination cell for wrap text, but that didn't work.
Entered text all goes into 1 line, "under", or hidden into next cell in

next
column.

So,

. Description Of Problem
"|| Mold wear is causing a washed out area at the radii blends ||" comes

out
. . .

. Description Of Problem
||Mold wear is causing a wa||

Customer won't be able to read this remarks/comments column. The column
contains a formula to pull the text in from another sheet, so they can't

view
the formula bar to read the text. Can't dbl click on the text, or the
formula comes up.

How do I make a text window, similar to a comment window, but have the
actual text from the cell appear when cursor huvvers over the cell?

Note: I'm asking for a comment window that reflects the data pulled into

the
cell from another sheet. Not how to make a comment window with "set"

text.
The text will vary, and can change as the program is run.

As corrective action takes place, that column (from original report

sheets)
will be edited and updated. The destination cell here will always be the
last updated comment/description.

I just want it to be easy for the customer to see the full text line when
they need to.

Final cry for help here! This is the 4th time I've posted this over the
past 2 weeks. Plus once in two other Excel categories here. Does anyone
have an idea how to git'r dun?!?
