Almost every feature or command that you will need to use in Microsoft Word 2010 can be found on the Office ribbon, or on the File tab. This means that you are rarely more than a click or two from the option or setting that you are trying to find. But if that option is something that you use frequently, you may be looking for a faster way to access it. This is where the Quick Access toolbar can be helpful, as it offers a location for certain commands so that they are always visible on your screen. The Quick Access toolbar can be displayed in one of two places. It can either be above the Office ribbon, or below it.

Since upgrading to Office for Mac 2011, I’ve been unable to locate the drawing toolbar that was previously in Office for Mac 2008. Is it still available in Office for Mac 2011? -Problems Reply- XinXin Liu from the Mac Excel team suggests the following solution: “The drawing toolbar has been removed in Excel 2011. Instead, most of its functionalities have been integrated into the Ribbon. For text boxes, it can be added from the 'insert' menu. As for shapes, you can find them on the media browser (enable from the 'view' menu or from the standard toolbar).” XinXin Liu from the Mac Excel team suggests the following solution: “The drawing toolbar has been removed in Excel 2011.

I've searched it using Help and it doesn't locate it. I'm looking to insert a text box into a chart.
I was also very confused by this. What you need to do is select 'Insert: Picture: WordArt' from the topmost menu bar (at the top of the application window). A strange looking text box will appear on the chart. This text box is apparently as form of Word Art.
Then, you have to format the text in the text box. This is a perfect example of something that was simple and straightforward in Excel 2004 (forget Excel 2008 - that was an aberration), and now it has been made very obtuse and complicated in Excel 2011. The Insert menu isn't on the Insert tab of the Ribbon. It's on the menu bar. There is no Insert tab on the Ribbon in Excel for the Mac. Category: Views: 1 Time:2013-12-15.
