Bob,
Interesting concept, however, I have avoided all contact with the
Speech capabilities in Excel. Doubt if I will change now.

As simple as it may sound, the existing Determine Colors program
was very difficult to write. Peter Thornton's invaluable help is the
only reason it was completed.
For some fun, try to determine the actual border color displayed
when there are three different colors applied to the same edge. <g
Regards,
Jim Cone

Jim,
Haven't tried it, but how about tying it into the speech add-in and get it
to echo back the colours? Now that would be useful.

Hello,

A brand new, free Excel add-in is available from my website
that may be of help to color blind Excel users.

"Determine Colors" adds a new menu item to the cell right-click popup
menu that displays the color name for the cell ...
interior color
pattern color
border color
font color
plus the sheet tab color (where applicable).

Comes with a brief Word.doc install/use file.
Download from (no registration required) ...

Comments and suggestions about the program solicited.
