Excel 2008

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Hi,
I am a new Excel 2008 user and notice that the 2008 formula bar is missing the "x" and "check mark" feature of the 2004 formula bar. You will remember that the Excel 2004 formula bar has a red x and green check mark which one could mouse click to negate or confirm an entry in the formula bar. I have searched Help, Customize and Preferences but have found nothing regarding this. Does anyone know how to get this feature back or is it gone forever?
Thanks
Delano

I'm afraid it is gone in Excel 2008. There is no preference to get it
back. Use send feedback in the help menu to tell Microsoft how much you
miss it.

In the meanwhile, use ESC or Command+Z in place of the "X". On a full
keyboard use the Enter key in the numeric keypad in place of the Check ‹ On
compact/laptop keyboard use fn+Option+return or fn+Command+return.
