    Help with popup box when clicking on cell, can't remember how to create popup box

    I've added a box that pops up when I click on a cell which visually reminds me how to input information into the cell ... my question, did this back 4 or 5 years ago and can't remember how to create again for a new cell (hope I'm clear on this) ... don't even remember what the pop up box is called, I know its not a comment box ... see RED box in attached image - Thanks in advance to your help

    Hi Wmchris, welcome to the forum. As Palmetto said...

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.
