Hello,

On my XL sheet, I have a HELP button. If the user click on that button, I would like to open a window with several lines of informations. If the windows can scroll it will be nice..

Thanks

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
You want to look at UserForms for that, are you happy to google this or do you want some pointers?

You might want to start looking at forms, alt+F11 puts you into the vbe, have a look around there and play with a few of the controls to see how they look (Insert>Form is a place to start)

Where is this help comming from, a spreadsheet or actually hardcoded into the help window?

Cheers
Colin

Well here is an example to get you going

Bear in mind and assuming you will provide the help contaxt yourself you will likely only need the form, a label, a 'Done' button and a scroll bar.

I'll be about if you need a hand ;)
