Hey fellow Excel enthusiasts! Looking for multiple ways to create a text box - just started to master this wonderful piece of software.

So, how do you build a text box in Excel?

Found out there are multiple ways to do that, actually.

1. The standard Text Box tool (Insert>Text>Text Box)

2. You can do the same thing using the shortcut (Alt + N + X)

3. ActiveX Controls method (Developer>Controls>Insert>Text Box)

Also, there's the VBA method, but you can learn it here - it's too long to write:  https://spreadsheetsuperstar.com/basics/how-to-add-edit-and-remove-a-text-box-in-excel/

Hope this helps someone!
