Editing and positioning dialog boxes
You can edit the properties of dialog box windows, including their size, position, and name. Dialog boxes are created with a default object name (for example, Dialog 1). Macros, link commands, and formulas use this name when referring to a specific dialog box.
A dialog box can be copied to another notebook. You can also disable a dialog box. As well, you can delete a dialog box.
For information about specific dialog box properties, see “Properties of form controls.”
