Hi

I have two requests:

1) How do I create a hover message when a pointer moves over a cell?

2) How do I create a flashing warning Message in a cell?

Thanks

Brian

#1. Maybe you can use a comment.
Insert|Comment (xl2003 menu system)

#2. Check out Chip Pearson's site:

For flashing text, see here:

(Not really advisable, though)

You can achieve a hover message by inserting a comment - this flashes
up when the pointer moves over a cell. You can also get a message to
appear when you select a cell by using Data | Validation and setting
up an input message.

Hope this helps.

Pete
