    How can I enlarge a picture using a mouseover techneque?

    I'm basically looking for direction on how to get a picture to pop up when
    i'm mousing over a thumbnail or a word in excel (or something similar). I'm
    trying to set up a movie database and i'd figure this would be a neat way to
    do so.

    Right-click on a cell and select "Insert Comment", then Left-click on the
    border of the comment box right where the cursor changes to a
    cross............then select the arrow next to the "Fill Bucket" in the
    Drawing Toolbar, and choose "fill Effects", choose PictureTab and follow the
    menu..........this will place a picture in the comment box which will pop up
    whenever yu mouse over that cell..........

    I figured it out. I had to go into "Format Comment" and then "Colors and Lines".
