XL98: Toolbar Is Not Docked When You Double-Click Its Title Bar

• Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition, if you double-click the title bar of an undocked (floating) toolbar, the toolbar is not automatically docked to the edge of the screen.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when you use a Macintosh system feature called WindowShade (or "collapsing windows"). This feature causes the toolbar to collapse into a title bar when you double-click the title bar of a toolbar in Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition.

However, if you disable this feature, either by turning off the WindowShade extension or by clearing the "Double-click title bar to collapse" check box in the Appearance control panel, nothing happens when you double-click the title bar of a toolbar in Microsoft Excel 98.

STATUS

This behavior is by design of Microsoft Excel 98.

MORE INFORMATION

You can undock a toolbar in Microsoft Excel by following these steps:

1. Move the mouse pointer over a "dead zone" on the toolbar, for example, the space between buttons, or the space at the end of the toolbar.



2. Click and hold down the mouse button, and drag the toolbar to a location on the screen.



3. Release the mouse button.
