When you have created a drawing object, you can fill it with a color of your choosing. This is easy to do by following these steps:
Once you select a color, Excel removes the color menu and fills the interior of the shape with the color selected. To remove a color you previously used, you can repeat the same steps, but in step 4 choose No Fill.

Thanks for the tip. If a different object is created by individual line shapes, how can we fill color inside that object? For example, I have created a rectangle using four line shapes instead of rectangle shape from the tool, and my concern is I need to fill the rectangle created by 4 line shapes.
Got a version of Excel that uses the ribbon interface (Excel 2007 or later)? This site is for you! If you use an earlier version of Excel, visit our ExcelTips site focusing on the menu interface.
