Hi,

For a long time, I know a button doesn't work when the user is inputting in
a cell. However, Excel has some
buttons that do work: the buttons for text-formatting like bold, italic,...

Is there a possibility to make a button work even when you are inputting in
a cell or can my problem be solved in another way?

My problem is: I would like to give to the user a list of text-fragments (so
when clicking on eg. a listbox, the text comes where the cursor is in the
cell at that moment). But clicking on the button is not possible (you get a
beep).

Thanks

Jos,

You would need to use a custom userform with a textbox for input, and
buttons/listboxes, etc. with code to be able to do something like that.
