If you go into Excel 2007 and click on Insert and then click on anything in
the Illustration group you do not get the drawing toolbar. You have to click on shapes and then on a shape of any kind. You then have to go to the cell and click on it. Then the drawing toolbar opens up. Then you have to click on Format and then on Shape outline to get to something as simple as "line weight". Thats a lot of clicks. I was just trying to find an easier way, and thought that an icon might be available. Try changing the line weight (thickness of the cell outlines) yourself and you will see what I mean.

Yes, some tasks require more clicks in Excel 2007. I was confused by your use of the phrase "drawing toolbar." In Excel 97-2003 the Drawing Toolbar can be obtained by View | Toolbars | Drawing. In Excel 2007, as the Help excerpt below says, those tasks require the Insert ribbon (Illustrations group or Text group). As far as I know, there is no way to obtain the old Drawing Toolbar in Excel 2007. When you format a shape in Excel 2007, I don't think you are using the old Drawing Toolbar. - Mike "Irv" wrote in message ...

There is no drawing toolbar in Excel 2007
You can add any control or group in the QAT by right clicking on it in the ribbon and clicking on "Add to QAT bar" -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "lenlevi" wrote in message ...

Office 2007 Drawing Toolbar
The information below from MSFT Help does NOT exist!!
1. Under Drawing Tools, on the Format tab, in the Shape Styles group, click the arrow next to Shape Outline. If you do not see the Drawing Tools or Format tabs, make sure that you selected a line. 2. Point to Dashes, and then click the line style that you want. Finally discovered that they left out the fact that you have to go to INSERT, SHAPES. SELECT LINE and draw it. Then go back and highlight the line. Only then can you get the format tab by RIGHT clicking so you can select arrows, dotted, color etc. Help section needs Help. Does anyone know a way to do this with fewer clicks?
