Preventing Info From Scrolling ... Possible ?? Mhz <Mhz.2cf7oe_1155375306.3432[ at ]excelforum-nospam.com> 12.08.2006 09:32:29 Hi, I'm just curious to know if it is possible to have a Text Box or other information Not Scroll (Stay Stationary) when scrolling horizontal or vertical? I do know about the Freeze Pane Feature but they are very limited to Top Row and maybe the first column which doesn't help my situation. Is there any other method of freezing Data not to scroll without using the Freeze Features? Thanks for any info on this... -- Mhz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mhz's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=35980 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=571003

Re: Preventing Info From Scrolling ... Possible ?? Max 12.08.2006 11:17:02 Just some thoughts .. I'd usually make do by say, opening 2 windows (Window > New window), then Window > Arrange > Tiled / Horiz and possibly manually resize if necessary to suit. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Mhz" wrote: [Quoted Text] > > Hi, I'm just curious to know if it is possible to have a Text Box or > other information > Not Scroll (Stay Stationary) when scrolling horizontal or vertical? > > I do know about the Freeze Pane Feature but they are very limited to > Top Row > and maybe the first column which doesn't help my situation. > > Is there any other method of freezing Data not to scroll without using > the Freeze Features? > > Thanks for any info on this... > > > -- > Mhz > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Mhz's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=35980 > View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=571003 > >

My Format is already spaced for Optimized Width and It would be a bit more irritating to shift between windows, But none the less your method appears to be the best at hand...
