SUMMARY
There are minor differences between the Microsoft Excel 4.0 menus used in Microsoft Excel versions 5.0 and 7.0, and the actual 4.0 menus (the ones that are used in Microsoft Excel version 4.0).

The differences between the menus are as follows:

  MENU Command     Version 4.0 menus in 5.0, 7.0  Version 4.0 menus

FILE Save        No hot key                     SHIFT+F12 Save As     No hot key                     F12

EDIT Clear       No hot key                     DEL

OPTIONS Group Edit  Not present                    Present New Menus   Present                        Not present

APPLICATION (upper-left corner of Microsoft Excel window) Run         Not present                    Present

DOCUMENT (upper-left corner of document window) Next Window CTRL+TAB                       CTRL+F6 Split       Not present                    Present

Note that this table does not include menu items that are added by add-in macros, such as Print Report, Views, and Crosstab.

Note also that you have the same functionality regardless of which menu you use: it is still possible to perform all of the same tasks using the Microsoft Excel 4.0 menus, but you may have to use a different method to perform the task.

For example, to use Group Edit in Microsoft Excel versions 5.0 and 7.0, you select two or more sheet tabs at the bottom of the screen, rather than using a dialog box as in Microsoft Excel version 4.0.



MORE INFORMATION
In Microsoft Excel versions 5.0 and 7.0, you can use Microsoft Excel version 4.0 menus. To do switch to the 4.0 menus, do the following:


 * 1) From the Tools menu, choose Options.
 * 2) Select the General tab.
 * 3) Select the Microsoft Excel 4.0 menus check box.
 * 4) Choose OK to accept the change.

To return to the standard Microsoft Excel menus, choose New Menus from the Options menu.
