Customizing the Display

Excel offers a great deal of flexibility regarding what is displayed onscreen (status bar, formula bar, toolbars , and so on). These commands are located in the View tab.

In fact, Excel makes it possible to develop an application that doesn't even look like a spreadsheet. For example, by choosing View Workbook Views Full Screen, you can get rid of everything except the title bar, thereby maximizing the amount of information visible. To exit full-screen mode, right-click any cell and choose Close Full Screen from the shortcut menu.

Excel 2007 places a zoom control in the right side of the status bar, making it easier than ever to zoom in or out. In addition, you can right-click the status bar and specify the type of information you'd like to see.
