In Excel 2007  goto Insert Shape and pick a shape  Colour it and enter whatever text you want  Then right click on the shape and insert a hyperlink      A few tips with shapes    If you want to easily position the shape with cells  hold down Alt when you move the shape and it will lock to the cell  If you don t want the shape to move or resize with rows columns  right click the shape  select size and properties and choose the setting which works best

Alternately  if you are using a Macro Enabled workbook   Add any control at all from the Developer -  Insert  Probably a button   When it asks what Macro to assign  choose New  For the code for the generated module enter something like   Thisworkbook Sheets  Sheet Name   Activate   However  if you are not using Macros in your work book  Ooo s approach is definitely surperior as hyperlinks will work with no need to trust the document

You don t need to create a button  The facility exists by default   Just right click on the arrow buttons on the bottom left hand corner of the Excel window  These are the arrow buttons which if you left click move left or right one worksheet   If you right-click on these arrows Excel will pop up a dialogue with a list of worksheets from which you can click to set your chosen sheet active
