Help Text for Radio Buttons
 
I am trying to create a survey form with multiple choice radio buttons. I
want to add descriptive text that appears when you float your cursor over the
button (like that for a toolbar icon). I've scoured Excel help and couldn't
find anything. I don't have experience with macros or Visual Basic but am
willing to try if someone can hold my hand through it.

If the radio button is in a cell, add a comment to the cell. Then the
instructions will appear when the mouse hovers over the cell.

Thanks. Yeah, I thought about that but I was putting 5 buttons per cell ... I
suppose I could put a button per cell and do some merging in the adjacent
cells but I'd prefer to have the choices for one question in one cell.
