Hi all,

I've got an image imported which I've assigned a macro to. It's basically a shortcut for showing some columns that are hidden normally, so that the user doesn't have to un-hide and set the appropriate columns widths etc.

Is there a way to set Alt-Text for the image so that when the mouse is hovered over it, as well as the pointy-hand icon, Excel displays a message like 'Click to expand all columns'?

I've tried Format Picture/Web/Alternative Text, but that only seems to be for IE-referencing.

Any thoughts?

It's not the end of the world if not, I'm just trying to keep the worksheet as user-friendly as possible. :)

Cheers in advance!
