How to remove text edit from Autoshapes
Hello,
When we add an autoshape to excel and select "no fill" to colour, i can reach the cell behind the autoshape so what i write in the autoshape is written to the cell behind it. It is fine. But, when i select the autoshape with right click and say "edit text" i can not then change the cell behind it if i do not move the autoshape to another place. Is there any switch to turn "edit text" for the autoshapes? thanks& Regards, Veysel |

It is fine. What you "write in the autoshape" is NOT written to the cell behind it. You are actually writing in the cell. You have made the Autoshape transparent, and there is nothing in it. Edit text writes in the autoshape. But, when i select the autoshape with right click and say "edit text" i can not then change the cell behind it if i do not move the autoshape to another place.

How to remove text edit from Autoshapes
Hello,
But just guess that it has been made by mistake and i need to turn "edit text" option off. I need the autoshape not to be written any thing when i press on it...
