Nonetheless, you can access the toolbar by pressing CTRL+F2 (if you don’t have function keys turned on, you’ll have to press CTRL+FN+F2). There are many duplicates between the two which just means more confusion for the users. One of the biggest confusions I have about Excel in general is the need for the ribbon plus the toolbar. Method 2: Access toolbar with CTRL+F2 and go through Format menu This means you have to hit F6 a few times just to get to the right tab in the ribbon. It’s still pretty clunky because when you press F6 the green selection might land on the Quick Access Toolbar or in the active cell form box first. The good news is that if you happen to need to use the ribbon, F6 opens it up and if the button in the tab is one of the “early” buttons near the left of the ribbon, maybe hitting the TAB key a few times isn’t too onerous. This method is obviously not ideal since it requires so many key presses to get to the right menu. This means you have to cycle through all the options on the Home tab again to get to the Format button. Heaven forbid you hit TAB too many times and you end up shooting past the Format button.
