MORE INFORMATION
If you copy a text box from a worksheet or a Microsoft Excel version 4.0
macro sheet (for example, Sheet1) that has been linked to a cell in the
same sheet with the formula =$A$1 or =Sheet1!$A$1, you will receive
different results depending on where you paste the text box.
Worksheet or Microsoft Excel 4.0 Macro SheetThe text box will become linked to cell A1 on the sheet where you paste it. For example, if you paste the text box in Sheet2, the text box will be linked to cell A1 in Sheet2.Chart SheetThe text box will lose its link to cell A1, but the value displayed in the text box will remain. For example, if cell A1 in Sheet1 contains the text "Sample," the text box will still say "Sample" when you paste it onto the chart.Dialog SheetThe text box will attempt to link to cell A1 in the dialog sheet. Because there are no cells in a dialog sheet, the text box will appear blank. In this case, use the workaround shown above to restore the proper link.Microsoft Excel 97 and Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh EditionIn these versions of Microsoft Excel, text boxes will remain linked to the correct cell as long as the reference to the cell also includes the sheet name. For example, if the link resembles the following
the text box will link to that cell, no matter where you paste it. REFERENCES"User's Guide 1," version 5.0, page 231 Additional query words: 5.00a 5.00c 7.00a XL7 XL5
