Default Rotating Scroll Bar

I currently have a form that I want to have 2 Scroll bars, one Vertical and
one Horizontal. Using the Forms toolbar I can easily make a scroll bar and
assign whatever I want to it fairly easily.
The problem is that the Rotate option is grayed out so I can't have a
Horizontal bar, only vertical ones.
These bars are going to be used to pin point a specific cell in an array,
and im currently using =INDEX() based on two bars, then in the array using
conditional formatting to highlight the cell that is currently being used.
But i'm currently having to use 2 Vertical scroll bars instead of one of
each, which is not very tidy.

Any help would be appriciated. Thanks.

There shouldn't be any need to rotate ? <g

In Excel 97, I'm able to draw a horizontal or vertical scroll bar (from
Forms Toolbar), just by clicking on the scroll bar icon, and then drawing
the "rectangle" out on the sheet either horizontally or vertically. And if I
somehow didn't draw it out right, I'd just delete the bar, and re-draw.

Ah, cheers.
The same doesn't apply to a spinner though, is there any way to do it on one
of those?

Yes, think it doesn't apply for spinners from the Forms Toolbar.

We can proceed to draw the spinner "horizontal",
but it'll just be a squashed version of a vertical spinner
which looks terribly out of shape <g

(Albeit it seems we can draw out spinners horizontally
if these are from the Control Toolbox)
