This article was previously published under Q180449



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.

The toolbar appears as a floating toolbar.

In Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, version 5.0, and in Microsoft Excel for Windows, if you double-click the title bar of a floating toolbar, the toolbar is automatically docked in its original location. This functionality is not available in Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition.
