Thank you for your encouragement. I like mama's solution which I have totally forgotten. Like you, I was focusing on textbox/autoshapes. The best thing about comments is that the cell is flagged with a red triangle. Let's hope the OP can give us some feedback.

Wish you a Happy and Healthy 2007.

You may be on to something. I'd taken it to mean a text box as in a control.
So how about we wait until Anand vijay replies to your possible solution?
Always helps to get a different view of such things - I often seem to guess
wrong or miss offering alternative solutions. Thanks for joining in.

Hi,

I hope I understand the OP correctly but not entirely sure what he/she really wants.

I would appreciate your comments on my idea.

1. Draw a rectangle inside a cell (using the drawing toolbar).
2. Right click on the rectangle, then Format AutoShape to remove the lines (colors and lines tab) to get the "hidden" effect.
3. Right click on the rectangle to insert hyperlink, link to the same worksheet.
4. Click on ScreenTip and type in text.

The text will not be seen unless "mouse-over" happens.

Just a thought. Have I missed anything? If I am totally off, have a good laugh.

Cannot be done in Excel with just a 'mouse-over'. Could be done with VBA
(macro) using Worksheet_SelectionChange() event. You would have to click on
a particular cell to make it come out (become visible).
