Hi Seoirse, A little tip to read the text within an excel cell. 1. Place your curser on the cell. 2. Make sure the num lock key is off. 3. Hold down the bottom left key on the num pad and press the number 5 on the num pad twice quickly. This should spell out the text within the cell. All the best, Robbie ----- Original Message ----- From: Seoirse Neilan To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2007 6:27 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: excel question Hi Loretta, that's fantastic, thank you very much.

Then just either press the Enter key or Escape and it will bring you back out on to your spreadsheet.
