When I installed Excel 2010, I found Home Styles Cell style
presented me with default cell colors for four types of cells: Normal,
Good, Bad, Neutral.

Today that color display has disappeared, collapsed into the Styles
button. If I expand the button I can see the missing display. How can
I get it back on the ribbon? To the best of my knowledge, I haven't
changed anything.


Upon further investigation, I found a note that says the formatted
style boxes show if the window is wide enough.

Given that I haven't done anything to the window width, where did they
go?


Apparently, there are more ribbon elements than in the previous
version.

Other than maximizing the window, is there any way to increase
width?


I think you can shuffle the element positions. Turning OFF those
elements you do not use helps as well. They refer to it as
"customization".

You remove commands you do not use. That parses the ribbon elements
down, and yours are more likely to be visible again.
