Possible too - ADD Text While editing a cell
Excel 2003 - XP SP2
I have users that enter text into a cell for services provided. Is is possible while they are entering text (into a cell) to either hot-key a popup box to select different service codes into the cell while they are editing? or Like WORD to have some autotext entries based on a forward slash? .. Please help me get started. thanks thom |

Any useful macro is disabled while you're editing the cell.
But other options may include Data|Validation Debra Dalgleish has some very nice notes if you've never used this feature befo http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal01.html Or even Tools|autocorrect options And even typing a unique string for each and then edit|replace to update them when you're done typing. thom hoyle wrote: Excel 2003 - XP SP2 I have users that enter text into a cell for services provided.
