I'm on XP.

Same here

does the menu extend or does it scroll?

It scrolls which is even more annoying!

it looks more like Windows Scroll Menu feature

I'll look into that.

Even when I scrunch my Excel screen up tiny like yours the full menus
appear. Of course Excel is taking up only a tiny part of my screen at
that
point so there is plenty of room to extend down or up.

If you're using Vista that might be a different too. I'm on XP. When you
click the arrow does the menu extend or does it scroll? If it's the
latter
it looks more like Windows Scroll Menu feature than the old Excel adaptive
menus.

but

| | That's really surprising. Like Mike I thought that 'feature' was

| | | There are still "sub-menus". For example:
| | |
| | | Home tabStylesConditional Formatting
| | | Home tabCellsFormat
| | |
| | | The full sub-menu doesn't display. At the bottom of these
sub-menu
| | there's
| | a
| | | button to click in order to see more selections.
| | |
| | | In Excel 2002 you can set it to "always show full menus".

| | | T. Valko or Biff -
| | |
| | | I don't understand. Since Excel 2007 doesn't have menus (it
has
| | ribbons),
| | | why would you expect Excel 2007 to have an option to "Always
show
| | full
| | | menus"? What would that mean?

| | | In Excel 2002 I can goto:
| | |
| | | ToolsCustomizeOptions tabAlways show full menus
| | |
| | | If this is still available in Excel 2007 I can't find it!
| | |
| | | I went to the MS site where they have an interactive app that
| shows
| | where
| | | things are now located in Excel 2007 but when I follow the
| | instructions
| | | of the app of where to look there is no selection for "always
| show
| | full
| | | menus" in 2007.
| | |
| | | http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/he...491511033.aspx
| | |
| | | So, this option has either been removed from 2007 or I just
can't
| | find
| | | it.
