Drawing Toolbar missing in Excel 2007
 

This is an absolute nightmare. I know that you typically use a different
program but all my process flows have been stored in Excel. Editing them has
become extremely frustrating. If you can only see the toolbar when you
select an object, how are you supposed to draw? If you go to "Insert" the
selection box drops in your way and there is no way to detach it for quick
placement of connecting lines or objects. I have used this for flow charts
for years; long before Visio but I suppose I am going to change now.

Drawing Toolbar missing in Excel 2007
 

Hi,

What exactly is your question? There is no drawing toolbar in 2007, there
are three things you can do about this at least:
1. You can add the drawing tools you want to the QAT
2. You can create your own tab using XML programming and then expose all
the tools you want on it.
3. You can lock a drawing tool on by choosing Insert, Shape and then
right-click it and choose Lock Drawing Mode.

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Cheers,
