Adding Excel Icons to the toolbar
Adding excel icons to the toolbar for your commonly used functions is one way to improve your efficiency in using Excel. For example, you have an excel worksheet that has been preset with a print area. After making some changes to the excel worksheet, the print area is no longer valid. To set the print area, most people would normal go to the menu and click on file, print area and then set print area. A total of 3 steps are involved. By adding an icon in the toolbar, I am able to do the same action
in one single step. The time saved is 67%! And the soltuion is given below.
