That's fine thanks... I go have another issue though. How do I do that same
macro with multiple cells. I tried to just copy and paste it again and change
the initial name and the cell reference but it only effects the first one.

Thank you for your help!

You could put that functionality in a Form, but it would require much more
programming.

Sorry.

Beautiful! thank you very much.

Also, by chance is there a way that when you are in that particular cell
when you hit enter it makes another line in that same cell, so you don't have
to hit ALT+Enter?

Here is an example for the single cell F7. Put this event macro in the
worksheet code area:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("F7")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.SendKeys "{F2}"
DoEvents
End Sub

The code automates typeing the F2 key.


Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

I am trying to figure out how to allow for editing a cell as soon as you
click on it ( so you don't have to click on it twice) I have a form that has
a cell made for comments and people keep complaining that every time they
click on the cell and start typing and all their previous string gets erased.
Is there a way to not have to click on it twice to go into edit mode in a
cell?

thanks for any help!
