Chuck,

Tried that. Doesn't work!
Still red font.

Thanks anyway,

Henry

Click on an empty unused cell..........
Then click on the Formatting paintbrush up in the tool bar.........
Then click on the errant Red-font cell..........

Vaya con Dios,

I have an XL2000 spreadsheet.
All the entries are in black font.
One cell is showing in red font
I've changed the cell formatting to black font but it still shows in red.
I've copied over it a similar cell with black font but it still shows red
font.
It's not important what colour it shows, but it's puzzling me how to
change
it back to black.

The only thing I've yet to try is to delete the cell, shift left and
re-enter the data.

Any one got any thoughts on this?

Henry
