Hi, You can get "Shapes" tool by 2 ways:

(1) From Insert Menu:

• From Insert | Shapes which is in under Illustrations group.

(2) Set it to Quick Access Toolbar:

Excel 2007 and upper version allows you to use a single tool (like, Shapes) as a shortcut in Quick Access Toolbar. You can easily set any of Tool in this Quick Access Toolbar. I'm showing you how you can add it:

• Click on File | Option | Customize Ribbon
• Select All Commands from Choose commands from:
• Select Shapes and Click on Add button

• That's it you will find it in Quick Access Toolbar

Hope this will help you.
