After contacting Microsoft both the color problem and the undo problem were
fixed by renaming excel directory in two places in the registry. I do not
know how the problem manifested itself in excel and not in word, but about
the time i noticed the problem I had been using the Pivot table lesson at
Microsoft's Web Site. I don't know if that had anything to do with it, but
am unable to point to anything else.

thanks
