Excel - Information pop-ups
I am having a very hard time trying top figure out how to make 'tips' pop-up
when you have the mouse over a cell. I dont want to use "comments" because they have that big arrow and are attached to the corner of the box an also have that indicator. I have seen a file that the text just pops up in a box near the cell, and can be moved around etc. With this text, if you have the office assistant in the assistant says the text rather then the text appearing in a box. I know this probably sounds confusing, but thats probably because i'm so frustrated, i've spent all morning tryign to figure this out! -- OmOlLeE |

Excel - Information pop-ups
Hi!
You can use data validation to do this but it requires that you actually select the cell to see the pop-up message rather than just a mouse over. Select the cell in question. Goto DataValidation Click the Input message tab Fill it in, click OK There's a limit to the length of the message, I think it's 255 characters. Biff "omollee" wrote in message ...
