I use underline and sometimes make the format hyperlink so the cursor
turns into the pointy finger when hovering over it.

Hello all:

I would like to have a consistent method of highlighting textboxes so
that
a user knows that double clicking will result in the display of more
information. Ideally, it wouldn't involve changing the background or
foreground colour, as I use these with conditional formatting for
displaying other information (order quantity is greater than on-hand
quantity, for instance). Changing the border colour or thickness results
in some very ugly grid displays.

The ability to put a little triangle in one corner of the textbox would
be
ideal - the way Excel does for comments. Does anyone have a brilliant
solution?

Thanks,
Doug
