Validity/Input Help does not work with merged cells.
Last modified: 2005-03-05 05:43:14 UTC
Validity/Input Help does not work with merged cells. 1. Create a merged cell consisting of cells A5:F5. 2. Create a border around the merged cell (makes it easy to see the cell). 3. Select the merged cell. 3. Data/Validity/Input Help - Click "Show input help when cell is selected" box, enter a title message and click OK button to close the dialog. 4. Now when you click on the merged cell it will display the title message. 5. Horizontally scroll the sheet to the right so the first column of the merged cell (A) is off the screen. 6. Now try clicking on the merged cell. The note will not appear.
It does work correctly for merged cells when they are scrolled off the right edge of the screen. The Title Message stays visable, hugging the right edge, untill the left end of the merged cells disappears past the right edge of the screen.
