Yes, it is possible to draw Floor Plans in Excel.........I do it all the
time, and even use conditional formatting to color different elements
according to quot;Efficiencyquot; or any other list of data required......they can
even be dynamic, contain drawing objects, and respond to macros if
desired.....very powerful tool!

I don't know of anyplace that would have step-by-step instructions for
something like this. This is not what Excel is usually used for. I only use
it this way so I can make it into a dynamic reporting vehicle to
automatically read data off a list and color the different areas and or
machines, or other drawing objects thereon. I usually start by making all my
columns 1.71 wide, which gives me all quot;squarequot; cells. This I designate as 1
square foot, and use cell borders to make the lines. This only is good for 1
foot resolution tho, so sometimes you may have to use a line from the Drawing
Toolbar. Images can be inserted. Text boxes can be used to annotate....etc,
etc. It takes a little practice.

You're welcome Madge, and thanks for the feedback. Although the drawing part
is not really much touted as a quot;realquot; Excel feature, it can produce some very
exciting results. Good luck with your efforts, and post back if you have any
more questions.
