I want to put a shadow on a cell in a spreadsheet and cannot figure out how to do it. I cannot find the "drawing" toolbar. What am I doing wrong.

You can find that in the View column of Microsoft Excel. Click on View > Toolbars > Drawing. From here you can use the settings. Office 2007 has more enhanced version you can use.
Have you tried to check the settings under View Menu. Click on Toolbars and checked Drawing option. Shadow on cells went away in 2007. In 2007 you'd achieve the shadow effect by Inserting a rectangular shape from the Insert tab on to your cell. Draw it the same size as your cell, right on top. With the shape selected, switch to the Drawing Tools->Format tab and set the Shape Fill to "no fill". Then you can experiment with the new graphics -- shadows, glows, blurs, etc. The shape will conform to your cell, so if you insert or delete rows, increase/decrease cell size, etc. the shape will change as well (so you don't need to keep manually adjusting it).
