    How to reposition the formula bar formula help box

    OK, dumb question of the day.

    Is it possible to have the help box that appears when you put your cursor on the formula bar display somewhere else? It is very frustrating because it always appears over the column labels. I have tried all kind of ways to have it display somewhere other than over the column labels.

    The only way I have found is to actually move it out of the way...over and over...and over.
    All help and advice appreciated.
    Thanks

    Right, you can just move it. I don't know how you can change the default location though.

    Hi,

    You could disable Formula ToolTips (uncheck in Options/Advanced/Display/Show function ScreenTips) and use CTRL+SHIFT+A within the formula bar as and when required.
