Default Questions about Forms & Controls

A few questions about Forms and Controls; I use Excel 2000. I have used them
successfully before, but in a limited capacity; I would like to expand my
comprehension of them.

1. What is the difference between Forms and Controls? There seems to be a
bit of overlap.

2. Can elements from both the Forms and Control toolboxes be used in the
same worksheet?

3. a) In the Forms toolbar, there is an item called a Group Box. What is
it, besides a nice way to organize the visual presentation of your controls?
Is there a way to change the font size of its title?

b) Same questions for the Label. Is it anything besides a text box, and can
its font size be changed?

4. Why is Edit Box in the Forms toolbar always disabled? Sometimes I want
to put a text entry box in a chart, and I can't use the Text Box control
because the Control toolbar is completely disabled for charts.

5. Is there a better general description of the function and application of
these two toolbars; Excel Help didn't give me adequate information.
