MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / March 2008fill color toolbar buttons for specific colors
Is there a way to have multiple toolbar buttons that fill different colors? For example, one toolbar button for fill blue, another to fill red, another to fill yellow. Currently, to work with several colors, I need to click to get to the fill palette, then select the color. Quite tedious and slow. One way would be to have a macro for each assigned to a custom button on a toolbar.

Quite tedious and slow. But that takes two clicks, Bob........very tedious and slow. Gord >Is that what the built-in fill colour toolbar button does? Hi, As long as you don't have xl2007 you can tear the drop down part of the control off and make it float. Press the dropdown button and then click on the blue header bar and drag it away from the button. Cheers Andy > Is there a way to have multiple toolbar buttons that fill different > colors?
