Peo, thanks for responding

Is this a change in the Excel functionality? Have
microsoft made an "Improvement"!! to the software then,
as
opposed to a feature you can add or not??

Not really, you can put an equal sign in the toolbar
but

it won't have the

same functionality like the old one

I have Office XP (Excel 2002 SP3) and I have noticed

I now have an fx (Insert Function) on the toolbar
which

I

didn't have before. Is there a way to get back to
the "old" format where I could click on boxes and the
fomaula result box would appear underneath the tool

bar,

without the insert format box appearing - ie is this

new

to this release, or have I got an option set that i

don't

want.
I am not a prolific excel user and this is making my

life

very difficult. I hope you can help me.

Thanks
