Please can you help me reinstate my 'Format' box in the toolbar?

Hello Fiona,

Thank you for your question.

If your Font group in Excel has disappeared completely from the Home tab, you can easily recreate it:

Click File > Options > Customize Ribbon

On the right-hand side, below the 'Main Tabs' box, click the 'New Group' button.

Then click 'Rename' to rename the new group, and call it Font. This will now show in the list in the box above these buttons.

Next, drag and drop the following items from the box on the left (Popular Commands) into 'Font' on the right:

Font
Font Size
Increase Font Size
Decrease Font Size
Bold
Italic
Underline
Borders
Fill Color
Font Color

These are the default items in the Font group.

The Font group should sit below 'Clipboard' in the list. If not, you can move it using the up and down buttons to the right of the 'Main Tabs' box.

When you're all done, simply click OK.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
Marius Barnard
