Hi,

Is there a way to type text within a cell where I can choose the position of
the text by clicking within the cell like you can within a word document?

I'd like to be able to easily type in something like this:

YOU: ME:
No I can not do that! (happy)

Yes you can!

And be able to select the placement of my text WITHOUT having to hold down
the cursor to push it forward.

Thanks!

Never Mind. I figured it out. Thanks.

Possibly with a Rich Text Box control. FMS has one:
