In Excel 2003 there is a feature on the drawing toolbar that allows
one to select only drawing objects when clicking in a drawing. It's
done by clicking on an icon on the left side of the drawing toolbar
that looks like the familiar mouse pointer. If this icon is selected,
mouse clicks will only select drawing objects (lines, boxes, etc.)
instead of the underlying worksheet cells.

My question is, where is that functionality in Excel 2007? I don't
seem to find it anywhere.

Home tab, Editing Group, Find & Select, Select Objects.
