Text Boxes

Hi,

I have created a work sheet with a text box underneath the data.

However, when i hide columns on the sheet, the text box becomes unreadable.

How do I set the text box so it remains in tact and visible regardless of whether I hide or reveal columns?

I am using Excel 2003.

Many thanks

Rebecca

RE: Text Boxes

Hi Rebecca

Hope you are fine

When you use text boxes in excel you will need to do certain things to make this visable at all times

Firstly you will need to select the text box so you can the little grap handles, then secondly you will need to right click the text box so that a little options menu appears, but make sure you right the border of the text box then click format text box.

You will then see a window with six tabs at the top click the properties tab and choose dont move or size with cells, then lastly click OK

this should solve your problem

How to Remove Duplication's from a selection of data in an Excel 2010 Worksheet

It would take far too much time to scan through rows and rows of data to find and remove duplicate data. So, here's how to do this using a much more efficient method:-

1) Select the data that might contain duplication's
2) Click the ''Data'' tab
3) Go to ''Data Tools'' and click ''Remove Duplicates''
4) A box will appear. Tick the boxes of the columns that you want to use to check for duplicates. Finally, click ''OK.''
