Active X text box control
I want to put a text box in a cell. I have followed all the instructions I
can find and it still isn't working. I try to type in the box and then go to another cell and the text shows up in the cell behind the text box. What am I doing wrong? |

Active X text box control
The Active X textbox control comes from the control toolbox. To adjust it's
settings you need to put the sheet into Design mode by clicking the first button on that toolbar (looks like a triangle, pencil and ruler). Right click the text box and select Properties. Add a cell address to the Linked Cell and then Exit Desing mode. That should do it. -- HTH... Jim Thomlinson "NEHicks" wrote: I want to put a text box in a cell.
