Hi all.
I have an Excel Workbook with multiple sheets that is an Order / Invoice / Inventory Program that I developed. In it I want to write comments to help employees understand how to fill out the various sheets in case they run into trouble.
I cannot use "comments" boxes because the sheets are Protected so that various formulas cannot be overwritten.
Is there a way to have the user press a shortcut key such as F9 or something similar that would
1- Preferrably show help for that sheet only or 2- a complete list of all help tips on 1 popup comment box?
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks ... Farmboy

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
LOL .....Never mind folks ..... boy am I dumb. I just figured out that if I entered the comments first "before" protecting the sheet that they would be there.
Proves You should always THINK before opening your mouth .. thanks anyway
