Excel 2010 in Depth, chapter 5.
Legacy Dialog Boxes.
Hey! Welcome back to the MrExcel netcast.
I'm Bill Jelen.
In chapter 5, we're talking about how to use the... Well, Microsoft calls them the dialog launcher.
But, I really call it the please just take me back to the old way.
So, just to set this up.
We have Ribbon tabs like home, insert, page layout.
Within the various Ribbon tabs, there are groups.
So, here's the illustrations group, the filter group, the Links group.
On home, we have, the font group, the alignment group, the number group and in the lower right-hand corner of many of the groups is a tiny symbol.
If you really zoomed it on a symbol, it looks like the top left corner of a piece of paper, with a arrow pointing down into the right.
And when you click that symbol, Excel takes you back to the old Excel 2003, dialog box.
So, if you knew how to set up the alignment in Excel 2003, rather than try and figure out how to do that on the ribbon.
You can just, very quickly get back to the old dialog box.
Another one that I use all the time is on the page layout tab.
I need to change something at page setup, that have been rather than use these new drop downs.
I come here, to this dialog launcher.
Where, I have full control the four tabs, we always had and can set up the rows to repeated top, or header footer, or Margins and so on.
Using the dialog launcher, in Excel 2010.
I want to thank you for stopping by.
We’ll see you next time for another netcast, from MrExcel.
