Toolbarts are a crucial part of the Microsoft Excel 2003 Applicxation and assist in imroving your productivity and efficiency in the application.

When you resize the toolbar to the left or right, you will notice that some of the icons from either toolbar will appear and disappear. This is by design. Essentially the application adjusts the size of the toolbar and changes the icons based on those that fit on the resized toolbar.
