Default How can I customize the buttons in a MSGBOX?

I want to diasplay a msgbox with three choices. Instead of YES NO CANCEL, I
would like something more descriptive , like Section 1, Section 2 Section 3.
I would like to avoid using a balloon attached to the assistant. How can this
be done?

you can only use the standard Buttons in a simple MsgBox.
It's not possible to adapt the text on it. If you would like to do
something like this you must work with a UserForm.

You can do this via APIs, have a look here

....... but you may be better served by just creating a Userform.

I have some code to build custom buttons using APIs, but I have found it
less than stable, so I wouldn't recommend it.
