Default Changing the Insert Row / Column Default

Dear Sir,

I am currently using MS Excel 2002 at my work place.

When I right click the mouse ang go to Insert, this function is default at
Insert One Cell down instead of insert the entire row down. May I know is
there anyway I can change this default for Excel 2002 as well as Excel 2007 ?

In my office experience it is a very rare occation that I require to insert
a cell down or towards its right. I have a feeling that this applies
generally to majority of the office users.

If the default sweting cannot be customized according to user need, I hope
you could review this default setting in the coming MS Excel 2007 version. It
would save an aditional step for each insert.

Thanks

Low

When you want to insert a row, right click on the row itself (on the left,
where it says "18"). Don't right click on a cell (B18 for example).

It is normal that if you right click on a cell, excel will try to insert a
cell, but if you right-click on a row/column, it will insert a whole row or
column.

The other thing you can play with is selecting rows and columns and pressing
CTRL+ and CTRL-.

Default Changing the Insert Row / Column Default

Hello Allen,

But I think it is sensible to enable the insert entire row / column function
at the cell
level when the worksheet is large. It save the effort of going to the row /
column reference to do this and return back to the working cell for some
ongoing tasks.

Any comment ?

Mr. Low

Go to ToolsCustomizeCommands.

Select "Insert" Category.

Scroll down and find the Insert Rows icon.

Drag it to your toolbar.
