pop up box needs editing --- HOW?

L

lhirschman

I inherited a spreadsheet that has a box that pops up when the cursor is in
particular cells. This box has been used to describe what needs to be
entered in those cells. It looks like a comment box, but it isn't. Neither
is it a drop down. I know how those work.

I need to be able to edit the contents of this box, but have no idea how to
get access to it. I can find nothing in HELP that is helpful, since I don't
know what it is called. (Excel 2000)

It looks like a really nifty, helpful feature if I could figure out how it
works. Somebody please help!

Thankx

Maybe it is data>validation? Select the cell and do data>validation, check
the input message
