I have to insert an introduction in my file excel in order to explain how it is working. The file is a business plan so it is not a user friendly. I want a macro that show a text in order to make like a guide. I want like a key that show an introduction text when you click in it. A text that you can scroll like when you are installing a software or something like that. I tried MsgBox "MessageBox", and Text = "TextBox". But are not fine. Messagebox because you have to put the " for every point and at the end. and textbox because it is ugly. Idea? which macro do you recommend? Or do you have other easier solution than a macro? PS: I have mac so I have not VBA or other stuffs.
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
I would advise using a FORM instead. Mac does have VBA, albeit slightly limited. However, that would probably be your best option.

If you want a simple Msgbox, this is the code you would use:
Code:
Sub SimpleMsg()
    MsgBox "This is  a really simple information box", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Help Message"
End Sub

Hope that helps
