Fill Color Toolbar

Removed in 2007
The quickest way to apply shading to your cells is to use the Fill Color drop-down command on the Formatting toolbar.

Fill Color - Applies a colour to the background of the current selection. The toolbar displays the last colour that you applied to your cells.

This drop-down menu is actually a tear off toolbar and can be treated like a toolbar.

You can shade your cells using this toolbar as well as chart objects and shapes.
