I am trying to automate the creation of a series of textboxes (one for each
page of my workbook - which consists of many pages) that will grab data from cells on different pages of the workbook and display the information to a user. This is done interactively. The data in the box has to change constantly depending on what triggers its display. I got much of this to work but I am encountering a few problems, which I suspect are simple, but which I can't resolve. I enter text in excel cells. But sometimes the text is very long and ought to be broken down into paragraphs. Is there any way either (1) to enter the text with paragraph marks embeded so that when it is dumped into the text box it will look formatted or (2) to bring it the text piecemeal (I can do that) and add the appropriate marks as it is being read into the textbox (I could add some character to the text that would allow a program to substitute it for whatever is necessary.) I have tried a number of things but none seem to work. It may be that the root of my problem is that I do not have the text box set to mulitline. I can't seem to get ".multiline = true" to work (I get a runtime error). I do not want to create each box manually since there will be very many of them, and I suspect I will want to change other things as I progres. Currently I have a macro to do some of that. But I can't seem to get all the details right. There are other such issues. But initially, I would greatly appreciate help in resolving the particular ones mentioned. Thanks. |
