pop up box needs editing --- HOW?
I inherited a spreadsheet that has a box that pops up when the cursor is in
particular cells. This box has been used to describe what needs to be entered in those cells. It looks like a comment box, but it isn't. Neither is it a drop down. I know how those work. I need to be able to edit the contents of this box, but have no idea how to get access to it. I can find nothing in HELP that is helpful, since I don't know what it is called. (Excel 2000) It looks like a really nifty, helpful feature if I could figure out how it works. Somebody please help! Thankx |

Maybe it is datavalidation? Select the cell and do datavalidation, check
the input message -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "lhirschman" wrote in message ... I inherited a spreadsheet that has a box that pops up when the cursor is in particular cells.
