It’s not one of the sort of proper exercises on the course. Now here’s a little exercise for you to do. But that’s another way of bringing up a little mini toolbar that you can use in some situations, for instance to just quickly be able to make something Bold or Italic or change the color of some text. In fact some people don’t like toolbars in general because they tend to get in the way of things. And some people like those, some people don’t. And what comes up is an even minier toolbar, a tiny little mini toolbar, a toolbar on select. If I now click with the mouse, drag across the word Hello and release the mouse button I’ve made a selection within a cell, in this case the word Hello.
If I click to the right of Hello in the Formula Bar and then go back and hover over the cell you will see that I can click in and the cursor is now flashing in the cell. If I want to select the text Hello and as you’ll see later on that is quite different from selecting the whole cell that the word Hello is in. Now there is another version of that available.

Well there’s a simple button there, a Bold button. So for example, I may want to switch off Bold. Note also the Smart Lookup there.Īnd then above the Contextual Menu there is a Mini Toolbar which gives me one click access to some of the things that I might want to do.
It has commands on it which Excel thinks are the most likely ones that I’m going to want to use at that time: Cut, Copy, Paste Options, and so on. So looking at this Demo 1 workbook here, for example, if I right click on it up comes a Contextual Menu. Now it’s called Contextual because what’s on it is in the context of what’s going on at that time. And typically in a situation you may call up what’s called a Contextual Menu. Now apart from using the Ribbon and the Quick Access Toolbar there are various other ways of accessing commands that are relevant to a particular situation or a particular action. In this very short section we’re going to take a look at Mini Toolbars and Contextual Menus. Like what you see?
