Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions but they didn't work. Upon further
investigation, I realized this issue only happens with Excel. Basically I
modified one of the grey colors to make it lighter (Tools/Options/Color).
Once I did that the orange problem happened. I am assuming because the color
I modified was the default color for the "highlighting" that defines the
location of the active cell. I guess it didn't recognize the lighter grey so
it went to orange. I pressed reset but nothing happened. Any thoughts?

THANK YOU!!

Hi Julie,
Settings, Control Panel, Display, Window dropdown change the interior
color back to white. Once fixed I would suggest assigning that set to
"default 2005-02-23" so you can fall back to what you used today if
you mess things up later on. See my color.htm page.

Not sure how I did this but when I click on a cell the row/column headers
turn orange. Even the drop down menu highlights in orange as I am going thru
the selections. HELP!!
