Excel 2007: Show the Developer tab or run in developer mode

When you install the new Office 2007 the first thing you want to do is show the developer tab.

  1. Click the Microsoft Office Button Button image, and then click Excel Options.
  2. Click Popular, and then select the Show Developer tab in the Ribbon check box.
