Drawing Tools Arrows
 

Office Excel 2007 is installed and I'm able find the drawing tools arrows but
they are not available for use. I've moved them to the quick access toolbar
but they are not highlighted so when I try to add them to my spread sheet
there is no response.
How do I activate the drawing tool arrows for excel?

hi
i'm not sure if it is the same in 2007 as 2003 but if it is then you have to
draw a line first then select an arrow style for the line.

I checked another post and it mentioned trying ctrl/6 to activate. On my
quick access tool bar office 2007 I have put both the Shapes icon and the
Arrows icon that I found by going to excel options and all commands. When I
tried the ctrl/6 it affected the shapes icon turning it both on and off but
the arrows icon remained unchanged (off).
In another post someone mentioned protections on the worksheet or workbook
but I didn't see any protections checked on either. Another possible clue is
when I look at the line styles options - arrows are not listed - I found it
elsewhere.
