Possibly with a Rich Text Box control. FMS has one:

Hi,

Is there a way to type text within a cell where I can choose the position
of
the text by clicking within the cell like you can within a word document?

I'd like to be able to easily type in something like this:

YOU:
ME:
No I can not do that! (happy)

Yes you can!

And be able to select the placement of my text WITHOUT having to hold down
the cursor to push it forward.

Thanks!
