You have two easy options:

1. Insert a Comment in the cell. The comment will appear wheneven a
mouse-over occurs

2. Insert a Data Validation message in the cell. The message will appear
whenever the cell is clicked.

I want to have 'in-cell' instructions (i.e. "Enter Length Here"). I want the
instructions to be in a light grey, and when the user enters their data (into
the same cell as the instructions), the number is in black. How to I get the
cell to automatically change colors from grey to black when a user enters
data?
