To create forms in Office Word 2008, you use the Forms toolbar. This toolbar contains options for making three basic types of forms: text forms, check-box forms and drop-down forms. If you're creating a form that requires a typed answer -- for example, one that asks for a name and has a field to fill in -- use a text form.
To reverse the rotation of your text and display it normally, simply go back to the “Alignment” tab on the “Format Cells” dialog box and enter “0” (that’s a zero, not the letter “O”) in the “Degrees” edit box. Delete a text box * Click the border of the text box that you want to delete, and then press DELETE. Make sure that the pointer is not inside the text box, but rather on the border of the text box. Add Comments to an Excel 2007 Cell. The procedure for Excel 2007 is the same as above. The first thing you’ll want to do is click on the cell where you want to insert the comment. Click on the Review tab in the ribbon bar to view the comment editing tools. In the Comments group, click on New Comment. In the Excel spreadsheet a comment text box will appear where you can type in your new comment. Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel I can't find any way to add a text box to a chart in excel in the 2008 Office for Mac. It seems like such a basic feature that I assume that I'm just not looking where I should.

It did not work like the first code you sent it only fit the content what i want is something that will make them all the same width and the length will auto fit the content as this is how column H looks right now and column A varies in width size would like column A to be three columns wide and length to fit content and grow as needed when you hit enter the box length should grow by a line is there a code for that ? note i tried both key cod that page you sent last.
