Text Boxes

Hi,

I have created a work sheet with a text box underneath the data.

However, when i hide columns on the sheet, the text box becomes unreadable.

How do I set the text box so it remains in tact and visible regardless of whether I hide or reveal columns?

I am using Excel 2003.

Many thanks

Rebecca

RE: Text Boxes

Hi Rebecca

Hope you are fine

When you use text boxes in excel you will need to do certain things to make this visable at all times

Firstly you will need to select the text box so you can the little grap handles, then secondly you will need to right click the text box so that a little options menu appears, but make sure you right the border of the text box then click format text box.

You will then see a window with six tabs at the top click the properties tab and choose dont move or size with cells, then lastly click OK

this should solve your problem

Excel tip:

Apply currency format quickly in Excel

To quickly apply the currency format to cell in your spreadsheet, select (highlight) the cells you wish to apply currency format to, then use Ctrl + Shift + $

This will apply a pounds symbol even though the $ key is pressed.
