i didnt choose to do it, im just following the workbook but it just says "make it look like this:" and gives a picture, but it doesnt say how to format the shapes so you can see the writing
All you need todo is add the same color of grey like the default gridlines of excel as a filling to the cells, nothing more
see attached excel workbook example
(but wj is right though, making such a form in Excel is possible, but Excel is not the perfect program to do it in though... very dodgy that a textbook use something like that as an example )
