Ive just been upgraded to Excel 2007. In the old Excel version, one could
add a drop-down box to the toolbar for formatting the pattern color and
pattern styles of a cell. It looked and functioned a lot like the "fill
color" button.
I can't seem to find its counterpart in the 2007 version -- neither on the
ribbon, or in the available buttons for the toolbar. I used this button
CONSTANTLY! In the new version, I have to open the font dialogue box, click
to the fill page, click on the pattern color box, then on the pattern style
box €“ seven clicks in all €“ every time I want to change a new cell area! In
the old version of Excel, it took one click on the toolbar to paste in the
color and pattern that Id used last, or three clicks to choose a new scheme.

Is there an add-on, or a macro that I can use to recreate the button as it
existed in the old version of Excel? Id love to be able to add it to the
€˜font area of the ribbon €“ but adding it to the toolbar would do as well.
