I would like to expand(maximize) the formula bar everytime excel starts.  I
would guess that I need to use a macro to do this.  My question is how do I
tell my personal workbook to automatically run this macro?

I found out how to create the Auto_Open macro, but do not know how to
automate the formula bar expansion in a macro.  Can that be done, and if so,
how?

This feature was added in Excel 2007

   Application.FormulaBarHeight = 4

The "Maximum" value I can set on my Computer is 27.

hi
The formula bar expands automaticly as needed. why do you want to expand it
and how would this expantion be? wider?

Hi Jeff
In XL2007, if you just need it bigger (as opposed to maximised) the shortcut
Control+Shift+U is a toggle between a single row depth and 4 row depth

Thank you.  I have someone that wants it to start out in the expanded version
all the time.
