MORE INFORMATION
Assigning a MacroIn Microsoft Excel, you can assign a macro to a drawing object or an AutoShape. When you click the drawing object or AutoShape, the assigned macro runs. To assign a macro to a drawing object, follow these steps:
Clicking a Drawing ObjectAfter you assign a macro to a drawing object or an AutoShape, you can run the macro by clicking the object. If no macro is assigned to the drawing object, clicking the drawing object selects it.
CONTROL-Clicking a Drawing ObjectIf you hold down CONTROL and click a drawing object or an AutoShape, a shortcut menu appears. The shortcut menu contains menu commands that pertain to the drawing object. If you then press ESC, the drawing object remains selected. If a macro is assigned to the drawing object, it does not run.
Pressing OPTIONIn earlier versions of Microsoft Excel, you can run the macro that is assigned to a drawing object by pressing the OPTION key and clicking the drawing object. In Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition, doing this selects the drawing object but does not run the macro.
Pressing CONTROLIn all versions of Microsoft Excel, you can select a drawing object or an AutoShape by pressing CONTROL and clicking the drawing object.
Pressing SHIFTIn all versions of Microsoft Excel, if no macro is assigned to a drawing object, you can select it by pressing SHIFT and clicking the drawing object. If a macro is assigned to the drawing object, pressing SHIFT while clicking the drawing object runs the macro.
