Format Cell Dialogue Box

[Guest]

Hi there,

Why don't you make the Format Cells dialogue box modeless. So that you do
not have to keep opening and closing it.

There are no "you"'s here, if your post is referring to Microsoft developers.

This is a peer to peer News Group manned(personned?) by volunteers and not by
Microsoft employees.

Your "modeless" idea is a good one, however................

There are many shortcut keys for formatting cells without opening the dialog
box. Perhaps one or more of them would suffice.

See answer wizard on "shortcut keys"

Hi
just the way Microsoft developed it. Nothing you can do about it )

Note: Though this forum is technically operated by MS the contributors
are (in most cases) not MS employees!

Well... the Borders, Fill Color, Font Color and Pattern palettes can be pulled off of the tool bar and onto the worksheet.
They then become modeless.

Click on the dropdown arrow to the right of the Fill Colour button.
In the palette that opens, point to the ridged bar at the top
When the pointer changes to a four-headed arrow, drag the palette
away from the toolbar.
