Hover Help--Insert Screen Tip
Hello and thanks for any help in advance.
I'm on Windows XP, Office 2003. I've been tasked to add "bubble help" to some Excel cells so when users "hover" over the cell, they get some written instructions. The only tool I'm aware of to do this is to make a hyperlink of the cell and use the Screen Tip feature. The problem I'm encountering is the Screen Tip feature allows for a very small number of characters and I need more space. Any way to increase that? Or any other method of including "hover/bubble" help in Excel. Please advise with thanks! Erik |

Click on a cell and:
Insert Comment Then type away. Then click elsewhere to close the Comment If you mouse-over the cell with the small red marker, the comment will appear. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200782 "erik_gregory" wrote: Hello and thanks for any help in advance.

Yep, totally works. Need to resize the comment box to fit extra large
quantities of text, but it totally works. With Thanks. "Gary''s Student" wrote: Click on a cell and: Insert Comment Then type away.
