Default Text box pop-up

I have a spreadsheet that I received from a Vendor that. when a cell is
selected, a text box appears with a description of what to do.... kind-of
like a help tip that is specific for the cell that was selected. The content
of the box changes depending on the cell and I can move the box wherever I
want..... THe question is- how is that done????

I have tried looking around the file. However, it is protected with a
Password that the vendor will not share.... something about changing their
spreadsheet... blah, blah, blah. They have bugs in it that they won;t fix
and I can't because I can't get in .... anyway back to the point....

I have asked the vendor. They either don't know or don't want to share. I
have a few spreadsheets that I have developed on my own where this would be
incredibly useful. Any comments or suggestions in the general direction of
how to set this up would be greatly appreciated.

Don
