You can also place some of these controls directly on your worksheet. Refer to Chapter 42 for

Changing the properties of a control
Every control that you add to a UserForm has several properties that determine how the control looks and
behaves. You can change some of these properties (such as Height and Width) by clicking and dragging
the control’s border. To change other properties, use the Properties window.
To display the Properties window, choose View ➪ Properties Window (or press F4). The Properties window
displays a list of properties for the selected control. (Each control has a different set of properties.) If you
click the UserForm itself, the Properties window displays properties for the form. Figure 41.7 shows the
Properties window for a CommandButton control.
To change a property, select the property in the Property window and then enter a new value. Some properties
(such as BackColor) enable you to select a property from a list. The top of the Properties window
contains a drop-down list that enables you to select a control to work with. You can also click a control to
select it and display its properties.
