Turning off Selection/sizing handles?
A page of my teacher's gradebook project is a "seating chart". I want to have
rectangular boxes appear on a "blank" sheet for each student in the class list. The objects should be movable with the mouse, and snap to a grid that represents rows of desks. Eash Box will have a student's name on it. I need to A) Turn off sizing handles and B) use objects that are pre-defined (size), but will allow text to be written to them (student names). C) be free floating on the sheet so they can be moved. Any ideas? |

You can do most of this but not move them much at all:
Add the boxes, format them so to add text, under the Protection tab uncheck Locked, with Properties tab pick 'Move and size with cells'. Protect the sheet, and check format columns and rows - that gives some resizing of the object when the row or column size is changed that the shape covers. Without going into this in detail - have a look at using an Organizational Chart - 4th one down from the submenu Insert Picture . Regards Robert McCurdy "Tom-n-Nash" wrote in message ...
