    Scrolling Bar within a cell for text

    I have a spreadsheet where I want to put notes in, but I don't want to re-size the cell as it will ruin the format. The amount of information will vary from entry to entry, each entry into the sheet will have its own row and within that entry I want to dedicate one column's cell for that entry's notes. Is there anyway to make a macro for a scroll bar for individual cells so I can scroll though the text entered in that cell. I have tried a text box but the text overflows once the amount of text over fills the text box.

    MayBe !!! . In a text Box (ActiveX) you need to set the Multiline Property and the ScrollBars Property.
    Right click "TextBox" Select Properties.

    Sorry , On the Developer tag Click Design mode, first !!!!
    When in Design mode Right click "TextBox" , and a shortcut menu should appears, with "Properties" on it.
