Thanks for any help.
I have my standard Excel menu bar, with File Edit, etc, and then some
buttons I've chosen, like Auto Sum, Format Painter, etc. There is also the
"Type a question for help" text box there, is there a way of getting rid of
this to free up some space, so I can put more often used buttons there? I can
always look at it from the Help menu.
Thanks.
