    Try searching for comment that is the term for memo fields in vba.

    look at this page..

    Re: Macros and memo fields

    Thank you for the reply Roel, there's this thing, my search is being confused with acutal CODE comments in VBA so i'm not sure where i can find a place that shows examples of setting a macro to clear a comment contents or insert a text into a comment/create one and delete previous one

    Re: Macros and memo fields

    I think I was misunderstood, this is not what I'm looking to do dotchiejack, I'm actually talking about inserting/editing a space in excel that you can insert a text into, not as a comment on a cell but rather a space that takes over cells itself.
