Create a tutorial

[harveya915]

I have a spreadsheet with vba buttons, code and userforms.

I want to creat a "Help" button inside a UserForm that when clicked opens up a tutorial of how to use the sheet. My dilemma is I don't know what control from the toolbox to use. I tried a text box, but it won't let me format it with Bold characters, different types of font and sizes, indentations and all that word formatting options.

Can anyone recommend a way of accomplishing this?

I had an idea of perhaps typing out the tutorial on to a word document or on to a pdf, then somehow integrating the pdf into excel. Therefore when the button would be clicked the file would open up. I found a couple of dilemmas with this idea that i found after a brief research. 1) I could do a hyperlink. The problem is that the document would be stored on my computer, but since the sheet would be shared with various people the hyperlink wouldn't work. 2) I could insert the pdf into a cell as an icon, this somehow embedding the pdf into the sheet. But I don't want the icon showing on the sheet.

Any help or suggestions would be gladly appreciated.

How about a link to another VeryHidden Sheet in the workbook. ??
When the button is pressed, the sheet is protected, it unhides, the user reads the instructions, the sheet rehides when they press an "Exit" button

That could be a possibility.
