Over the next few posts, I want to walk through a number of the improvements we have made to styles. Today, let’s cover Cell Styles. “Cell Styles”</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)</generator><item><title>re: Cell Styles - More Usable, better defaults</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/excel/archive/2006/03/29/564601.aspx#565341</link><pubDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2006 02:28:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:565341</guid><dc:creator>Harlan Grove</dc:creator><description>Given enough cell styles, won't they push some portions of the ribbon off the screen? If they do, then how accessible would those ribbon commands be compared to the current XL11 menu?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We can quibble about terminology, but the ribbon looks a lot like a dialog that's always on screen. It's probably too late to change, but it'd be nice to have an optional setting that would tell Excel to collapse the ribbon when the formula bar expands to multiple lines for long formulas or cell contents. Kinda like &amp;quot;don't hijack my grid, but PLEASE hide the ribbon while I'm editing this.&amp;quot; While you might counter that the formatting ribbon could be needed when editing text constants, it won't be needed when editing formulas unless XL12 will allow different pieces of formula results to be formatted differently than other pieces.</description></item><item><title>re: Cell Styles - More Usable, better defaults</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/excel/archive/2006/03/29/564601.aspx#565520</link><pubDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2006 08:29:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:565520</guid><dc:creator>Carl Scarlett</dc:creator><description>Any chance that conditional formatting will become part of a style? &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Are there any other formats that have been moved into styles?</description></item><item><title>re: Cell Styles - More Usable, better defaults</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/excel/archive/2006/03/29/564601.aspx#565553</link><pubDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2006 09:30:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:565553</guid><dc:creator>David Gainer</dc:creator><description>Harlan - the cell style gallery shrinks down if there is not enough screen to show the whole contents, at some point becoming a button that, when clicked, exposes the whole gallery. &amp;nbsp;Also, we are close on your request for Ribbon hiding. &amp;nbsp;You can collapse the Ribbon buy clicking on the active tab or with a keyboard shortcut, so while it is not an auto-thing, it is pretty simple. &amp;nbsp;I think there is a screen shot in one of the posts in the last month of what that looks like.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Carl - Not this time, although those are both excellent ideas.</description></item><item><title>Charting II – Professional charts, made easy (continued) + Excel 2007 keyboard access model …</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/excel/archive/2006/03/29/564601.aspx#575411</link><pubDate>Thu, 13 Apr 2006 03:21:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:575411</guid><dc:creator>Microsoft Excel 2007 (nee Excel 12)</dc:creator><description>Keyboard Access&lt;br&gt;Today I want to start with a link to Jensen&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;Harris'&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;UI blog, where Jensen...</description></item></channel></rss>
