Excel 2010 font and background colors

Good morning all. I have a question that probably has an easy answer. We just got new computers at work and are now using Excel 2010 rather than 2003. In the 2003 version, I could drag the font color and background color selection boxes from the toolbar and place them on whatever sheet I was working on. It was convenient to have them right next to what I was working on rather than constantly going to the toolbar and having to click the font color icon and then selecting the color. In 2003 when you would open what you wanted, there was a dotted line at the top which you could click on and drag the whole box wherever you wanted it. In 2010 that isn't there. As of yet I have been unable to find a way to do that, if in fact it can even be done.

I'd appreciate if anyone could tell me how to do this, or if it can't be done at all. Thanks for any help you can give me :-)

Well perhaps this was a tougher question than I thought lol.
