Hi Ed,

Thanks for all the info. I did get it working, but it's sort of
strange. A d-click breaks to an empty sub, a single click puts
6 dots around it, kind of spoling the apperance. And no matter
what Mouse pointer I choose, all I got was the 4 pointing arrows
shape. I might just stick with what I had!

Thanks anyway, I didn't know about the control toolbox.
Cheers - Kirk



In XL 2003, right-click a toolbar, select 'Control Toolbox' use this to
place a text box in a cell. (Hold the Alt key down whilst placing/resizing
the text box to get it to align to the cell borders.)

In Xl 2007, go to the Developer ribbon, Insert - ActiveX Controls - Text
Box. (If you can't see the developer ribbon, go to Excel Options to show it)

Whilst in design mode (the set-square toolbar button is activated), click
the properties button. Here you can change tha mouse pointer, background
colour, border, cell link, and a bunch of other stuff.

All your changes are stored with the sheet, so send to other computers at
will...
