Default How can I add the REPEAT (not Redo) command to Excel's toolbar?

Heidi,

Have you tried simply hitting the F4 button on your keyboard?

Unfortunately, the icon is not the problem.

What I need is a method to add the REPEAT _command_ (Ctrl+Y) to the
toolbar.

Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

If it's the "button" image (icon) you want, r-click the Toolbar area,
Customize, Commands, Rearrange commands, set Menu Bar to "Edit", Select
"Repeat Format Cells", click Modify Selection, pick "Copy Button Image"

You may now "Paste" it on another button that is on the Toolbar by
closing Rearrange commands and Rclicking on the other Button and picking
"Paste Button image".



Thank you for taking the time to verify that I didn't miss something
obvious.

I think I might begin a new thread with this specific challenge rather
than
piggyback onto the Paste Special question posed in the original posting.

Do you think this is the appropriate forum for this question?

If not, where do you think I should post it?

Thanks again,

Heidi


Thanks for the correction Heidi.

I had obviously not picked up on the (actually, not so subtle)
difference.

I don't think there is a Repeat icon. I can not find one in any
category.

Unfortunately, there is a subtle (but important) difference between
Repeat
(Ctrl+Y) and Redo.

Example:

Mark a cell and apply a format. Notice that Redo button is remains
dormant.
Select Edit from the menu. Notice that Repeat (Ctrl+Y) operation is
available with the format operation activated (Repeat Format Cells).

Do your have any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Heidi


CTRL + Y is "Redo" in the list in the "Edit" category.
Drag it up to your Toolbar.


I could not locate the Repeat (Ctrl+Y) command in the 'Edit' section.

Excel's Help does not explain how this command can be added to Excel's
Toolbar.

Do you have any suggestions?
