Can I make the scroll bar show the row number?
 

My previous version showed the row number as I clicked on the scroll tab and
pulled it up or down, making for easy location of the line I'm looking for.
Excel 2003 does not show the line (row) number. Is there a way to turn on
this feature in this version?

This nice feature was not included with Excel 2002 either.

I think it was exchanged for seeing the pixel size when you drag to adjust a
column or change a row height. Yippee!

Ahhh. But xl2003 shows the rows as you're scrolling. Your older version didn't
adjust the display--so you need that little bubble.

Now with xl2003 (and xl2002), you can see what row you're actually on when you
scroll.

You never said how to turn it on.

You don't need it in xl2002+, so it doesn't exist in those versions. And since
it doesn't exist, there's nothing you can do to turn it on.

Turn what on?

In 2002 and 2003 the sheet scrolls as you use the scrollbar arrows so you can
see where you are.

Fyi, Dave, it's back in XL2007.

Thanks for the clarification.

Does that mean that live scrolling is gone or that xl2007 does live scrolling
and shows the tooltip?

And is there a way to turn it on/off in xl2007?

(In case the OP wanted to.)

XL2007 does both, Dave. I don't know of a way to turn either off.

I am having somewhat of the same issue. XL2003 does not show the "Row:" or
"column:" when i am dragging them, but another machine with with office 2007
does. The usewr on the 2003 machines said it use to show the "Row:x Column:y"
but does not. She does not remember what she did to turn it off. Any
suggestions?

MS turned that feature off (in xl2002, I think)--when they added the live
scrolling.

I guess enough people complained about it because MS added it back in xl2007.

Tell the user that she remembers xl2k (or maybe xl97???).
