Therefore, I cannot write into the first text box.&nbsp;Note:&nbsp; I exited the design modeWhat can I do?Maybe the reason lays in the "Security Update Microsoft Windows KB4489882 or KB4485447 - which were recently installed ?Thanks a lot

julelui&nbsp;I think I've managed to find the root cause of my issue - it turned out that using a secondary monitor with duplicate display setting was the reason, however I have not identified why so only resolution I found so far is to unplug the extended display

julelui&nbsp;: yes, I replaced it with a normal text box, which worked&nbsp;for my requirements.Even though I lock my excel, I can type into this text box by unclicking the "lock text" property under "format". However, this is of cause not the solution for the initial problem - nevertheless, I hope it helps
