Text in Excel 2003

How do I get a text behind several columns and rows. For example I would like to name a sheet and put the text in the middle of the worksheet behind the cells with a high font size.

Please could you give me some more detail about your end result.

RE: Text in Excel 2003

I would like to create some sort of watermark.
I am creating worksheets for fifferent workstreams and in order for me to know on what sheet I am working on I thought it would be good to have a text right in front of me behind the text/cells.
I would want to write the name of the worksheet and also what page it is if more than one is needed.


thanks

There is no watermark functionality in 2003, however please find the link below that explains how to create a watermark behind your text.

Excel tip:

Autofit column width – Excel (all versions)

a. Highlight the column or columns you wish to alter the width of. You do this by clicking on the grey button at the top of the column showing the column letter. Click and drag on these letters to select more than one column.
b. Double click the dividing line between the columns. This dividing line is the break between the columns on the column headers (grey buttons showing the column letter at the top of each column). When you hover your mouse over one of these dividing lines the point will change and show an arrow pulling a line in two directions. When you have this mouse pointer you should double click to get Excel to automatically set the column width to fit the contents of the column (autofit)
