SYMPTOMS
When you use the Customize dialog box in Microsoft Excel 97, it may appear behind any floating toolbars that occupy the same area of the screen, rather than appearing in front of them.



CAUSE
This may occur if you activate the Customize dialog box by clicking somewhere inside the dialog box, rather than on its title bar.



WORKAROUND
If this problem occurs, click the title bar of the Customize dialog box. It will then appear in front of any floating toolbars.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
In Microsoft Excel 97, you can use the Customize dialog box to modify toolbars, menus, and menu items. To display the Customize dialog box, click Customize on the Tools menu.

The Customize dialog box is a special type of dialog box. While the dialog box is displayed, you can still activate menus and move toolbars. If you move a toolbar in front of the Customize dialog box, it will obscure the dialog box even if the dialog box is active. To eliminate this problem, click the title bar of the Customize dialog box.
