You should ask this query in an Excel group rather than a general OS group.

It sounds like you're not in design mode when you right click on the button.
Right click on any visible Tool Bar, or click VIEW and select TOOLBARS, and
activate the CONTROL TOOLBOX toolbar. The first button on the toolbar has a
pencil, a triangle and ruler. Click this button to toggle design mode
on/off. ONce you're in design mode right click on the button and you'll get
the short cut menu.
