I know that's easier to use input cells for that but I have some reasons for not doing it. Mostly because I want to let others who use the spreadsheet to be able to easily remove the text from excel to word or other applications. Copying text from a cell is not as easy as copying from a txt box (you can't just highlight the text and copy it, you must go to the text area in the options bar above the cells' area and select the txt from there, or just click on the cell and copy it but that pastes the txt in word as a table and not as just text). If I don't have any other options I'll have to use a cell. Thanks
