    Writing a word e.g. begin will trigger an action to happen

    So I am writing instructions on my excel project so people who test it will know how to use it quite well. I am looking to make it quite interactive so users feel at ease.

    For example, if users type in a box 'ready' then a message will pop up saying Ok lets start.
    Or say for example a user types begin THEN the next step will automatically sure.
    And then if they type I got it. The next bunch of steps will automatically appear. So the idea is for it to be interactive.

    Also if one of the instructions say, "In sheet 3 increasing the number of people will increase the number of forks". And then the user types ready to test. Then it would take them to sheet 3 automatically and the cell that they are supposed to change will be highlighted.

    If anyone can help with this maybe provide a basic work book demonstrating all the features above .

    Thanks!

    Thanks for that! And what about:


    Also if one of the instructions say, "In sheet 3 increasing the number of people will increase the number of forks". And then the user types ready to test. Then it would take them to sheet 3 automatically and the cell that they are supposed to change will be highlighted.

    And also if READY is typed, then the text box appears.

    It might be easier if you had a sample showing how you have the textbox(s) set up. Also, where would the instructions be at? AS for taking them to sheet 3, try adding the code below

    As for the code you found, its just some code for the ribbon below the quick access toolbar.
