I've created an Invoice in Excel & it's workign fine. Is there a way to
insert a "Paid" stamp kind of comment on the invoice.

Use OfficeArt to make a big ugly "Paid" design, tilt it 30°, and place it
right in the middle of the invoice.

(I use it for reminders!)

And draw a nice command button and attach a macro to it so you can (kinda)
replicate the thump of the rubber stamp with a gentle click ....

Many Thanks. Would it be possible at all, if you can explain the command
button & macro to me in steps that I can follow to get your suggested result.

Hey Jon,

You've kinda called my bluff. With a little bit of help from this group I
could probably get one of these working smoothly.

I know there will be someone out there who can explain this clearly and
concisely - I started drafting a response and realised I will probably miss
out a vital step and put you off horribly.

This will take you into the realm of recording (and possibly editing) macros
so it would be good how keen you are to start learning how to automate things
....

Here's a little macro to do it for you........you can assign it to a button,
or just use the Keyboard shortcut of Ctrl-P

Sub PaidStamp()
'========================================
'Places "Paid" artwork on sheet
'Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+p
'========================================
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddTextEffect(msoTextEffect1, "Paid", "Arial Black",
96#, _
msoFalse, msoFalse, 252.75, 132.75).Select
Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementRotation -30#
Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementLeft -45#
Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementTop 64.5
Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.Visible = msoFalse
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
