Pardon the elementary question, but ... have you tried:
<View <Toolbars,
And make sure that "Formatting" *IS* checked?

Cant find the Formatting Toolbar on my Spreadsheet. I am still learning
about
spreadsheets and am using XP now instead of 2000. I managed with 2000 but
things seem different on XP.
Can you help please.
