    Resolved [RESOLVED] Adding scroll bar on Excel Text Box

    Hello all,

    I've had a good look around, but can't seem to find a solution.

    All I want to do is add a scroll bar onto a Text Box I've drawn in Excel. I've read somewhere that you can set this via the properties window - but when I highlight the Text Box then fgo to properties, I see the properties for the whole sheet rather than just the Text Box.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    James

    1) Please specify Excel Version
    2) Are you placing the textbox on a worksheet?
    3) How have you created the textbox?

    From menu View~~>Toolbars~~>Control toolbox?

    Or

    From menu View~~>Toolbars~~>Forms ?

    Re: Adding scroll bar on Excel Text Box

    Hi koolsid, thanks for your reply

    1) I am using Excel 2003

    2) I am placing the textbox directly on the worksheet

    3) I was actually drawing the textbox on the worksheet using View~~>Toolbars~~>Drawing.

    In actual fact, I've solved my problem now! I have just used View~~>Toolbars~~>Control toolbox to add my textbox, and can now edit the properties of it no problem, including adding a vertical scroll bar.
