Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you again. I was not drawing it first and
really did not know or understand what I was suppose to be doing in the
Draw
Toolbar, but the suggestions y'all gave helped me and I have now inserted
an
arrow into my program.

Thanks again,

George

hi
if you can see the draw tool bar, they are loaded.
i think you are trying to select arrow style before you drew the arrow.
select the single arrow on the draw tool bar and draw the arrow on the
sheet
then slect the arrow style form the arrow style icon.
but i think you will run it a problem anyway. drawn object cannot be put
into a cell. they just float on top on the sheet. and can be moved around
independent of a cell.
if you want the arrow inside the cell, do this....
on the menu bar....
insertsyble
scroll down and select a arrow symble, click incert, click close, press
enter.
there are several styles to pick
another option...
set the font of the cell to wingding3. all of the lower case letter on
the
keyboard represent a differnt kind of arrow. experiment with it.

I am a new user and I wish to insert an arrow, from the Draw Toolbar,
into a
cell in an Excel worksheet. However, when I click on the arrow button
in the
Draw Toolbar the images are all "gray" and I can not highlight the
image.
Does this mean that the images are not loaded on my computer? Or, is
there
some command to unlock the images? This is an older version of
Microsoft
Office and an older computer, if that should matter.

Thank you, for help with this matter.

George
