Emphasize Important Data

Call attention to key information on your worksheet. With the Microsoft Excel drawing tools, you can draw and format lines, boxes, circles, and text boxes that “float” over the worksheet. Draw ovals with no fill color to circle worksheet items that you want to highlight.

Drawing button

Click the Drawing button to display the Drawing toolbar. For more information, see Get Your Point Across with Graphics.

Format graphic objects You can use the buttons on the Drawing and Formatting toolbars, or select the object you want to format, and then click Format Object (Format menu).

Move objects with cells Objects you draw can be “attached” to their underlying cells. If you want an object to respond to changes such as moving cells or changing the size of rows or columns, click Format Object, which is available only when an object is selected. On the Properties tab, select one of the Object Positioning options.
