MORE INFORMATION

In Microsoft Excel 97, you can use the Customize dialog box to make changes to toolbars and menu bars. To display the dialog box, either:

On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and click Customize.

On the Tools menu, click Customize.

The Commands tab of the Customize dialog box contains all of the tools and menu items included in Microsoft Excel 97. You can use the Commands tab to customize menus and toolbars by dragging tools from the Commands list and dropping them onto menus or toolbars.

The Exchange Folder tool typically appears on the File menu, under the Send To submenu. You can use the Exchange Folder tool to send the active workbook in Microsoft Excel 97 to a folder in Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook.
