Hi. I posted this question before, but, because I don't understand all these
advanced Excel computer terms, it wasn't much help. ALSO I ONLY GOT ONE
RESPONSE. EVERYONE HELP!!!
MY QUESTION IS THIS:
How, in Excel, can I set a cell to contain text such as [Your Name], and,
when I single-click it, have the cell become selected in dark gray, and when
I begin typing, have the cell clear so I can type?
Basically, I'm asking because I've seen in some Microsoft Word templates
things/words like the cells I've just asked how to make. These words are
there so the user easily knows what should be typed where and can easily
replace the [Your Name] with something like Alex Smith, such as in a resume.
I want to make cells do similar selection/replacements in Excel for a
template service invoice.
I'm pretty sure what I need to do has something to do with macros, because
that's what the guy who responded to the other question said. The only
problem is that I didn't understand the terms he used, and I didn't
understand the exact directions in order to do what I wanted. SOMEONE,
PLEASE, give me specific, clear, and detailed instructions on how to do what
I want.
THANKS TO ALL WHO HELP!!!! Have a nice day!
