where is tools>options>show full menus in Excel 2007

[pattyb]

In Excel 2003, I went to tools > customize > options > always show full
menus. In 2007, I went to Excel Options > customize but I never found
anything about full menus. Any help would be appreciated.

Try CTRL-F1 if you don't see the options under Home, Insert etc.

Excel 2007 uses the 'Ribbon' interface which is very different from the
menus of Excel 2003. For details see

That option is not available in Excel 2007.

I asked the same question several months ago and everyone thought I was "on
drugs"!!!!!

Here's a link to the post:

I even posted a screencap but that link doesn't work any longer.

Hello Biff,

I went through your post and replies... I am surprised at the way people
responded to a MVP (or did you know them personally and just having a good
time?).

I found a nice mapping document today at http://tinyurl.com/68fgqg

Pl. bear with me but about the following from your post;
Conditional Formatting Menu was not fully shown even in Excel 2003...
Same with Cell->Format
------------------
Home tab>Styles>Conditional Formatting
Home tab>Cells>Format

The full sub-menu doesn't display. At the bottom of these sub-menu there's a
button to click in order to see more selections.

It was just a good natured "ribbing"!

There are no sub-menus for those items in Excel 2002 (the other version I
use).

I don't know of a free image host (anymore) that doen't fill the screen with
loads of advertising and other junk or I'd post a screencap to show you what
I'm talking about. It's something you have to see to fully understand.

Imageshack *used* to link directly to the image but *now* they link you to a
page with all kinds of junk on it. I used to post a lot of screencaps. It
really helps being able to see how something is setup.

I thought it was good natured...

I got your point now... I was thinking in terms of 2003.

The first time I used Excel was in early 1990s... before that I used to use
Lotus-1-2-3
