Thank you very much Jan - I shall see him next Monday and the tips you have
given will certainly be useful while we get to grips with 2007.

With best wishes,

Hi Camlad,

Now that 2008 does not support VBA I can no longer write macros on the
large
Mac screen without Parallels or similar running 2003 - I shall wait for
2011
or whatever/whenever, trusting that VBA is resurrected. and for now stick
with 2003 on this tiny mini laptop screen. As for my friend I shall have
to
customise the bloated menus of 2007 so he has maximum screen for his
minimal
vision - font and fill colors are buttons I would have missed out.

You can double-click any of the ribbon tabs to minimise the ribbon. And if
you
right click the font and fill buttons on the home tabs, you can select Add
to
QAT to make those appear on the "Quick Access Toolbar" near the top of the
Excel window.
Does that help?

Regards,
