I've been asked to design a "ticket" in Excel (Office 2000) which has quite
a lot of pre-existing text, and several boxes which the person issuing the
ticket must fill in. Some of the boxes will contain formulae which will be
calculated based on the numbers that the user types in to other boxes.
The problem is that in the design I've been given, the boxes do not all line
up in regular column widths and row heights across the whole ticket. I know
that I can merge some cells horizontally but (as far as I know) you can't
merge cells vertically - and in any case this will only help a little.
What I really need is to be able to move column and row boundaries for
*some* groups of cells, independantly of other groups of cells. I think I
can do this with Word tables, but I also need the ability to enter formulae
into some of the cells like Excel.
What is the best way to get the result I need?
