    Angry Default text in 1 cell when blank - to remain once subsequent text deleted

    I have one cell (A9) that I want to read 'Text' for people to know where text should be entered.
    I want people to be able to over-write it - and then when text is deleted for 'Text' to appear again.
    I also want (if possible) 'Text' to be present when opened - so an auto-open script I guess - meaning when another person opens the document 'Text' is visible.

    Ive been searching for a while now - I'm a novice excel user.

    Help me Obi-Won youre my only help...
