Add handwritten elements to your documents and set creative accents

The Excel Draw tab unlocks a surprisingly versatile set of creative tools that go far beyond basic spreadsheets. Using the built-in Highlighter, you can highlight cells in your chosen colour with a single drag — and the Align to cells command ensures a clean, even result every time. Available across Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, these drawing features work consistently across all Office applications, so there's no learning curve when switching between them. Here's how to put them to work in your next spreadsheet.
