Default group/ungroup column/row buttons

You know after you group colums/rows together using Data-Group &
Outline-Group, there are these +/- buttons that let you expand/collapse
those grouped columns & rows... I'm not sure what I did but those buttons are
no longer showing and the grouped columns & rows now appear as if they were
simply hidden.

How do I get those buttons to show up again? Thanks.

In xl2003 menus:
Tools|Options|View tab|check outline symbols

Default group/ungroup column/row buttons

Dave,

I'm having the same problem as rockhammer with a slight twist. Some of my
groups no longer have the + button whilst some continue to show the + button.
The hidden rows continue to operate as usual. I've tried the
tools/options/view/outline symbols as per your post and this hides or shows
the + button for the current visible groups but does not reactivate the
groups that are currently hidden. Any help would be appreciated as I can't
work out what I've done - this workbook has been in use for ages with no
previous problems.

Thanks in anticipation.

I'd remove the outlining from all the data and reapply it.
