Good thought - completely forgot about that possibility.

I just put office 2007 on my new laptop for work. I opened an old excel file
created with excel 2003 and noticed my fill colors weren't in the cells I had
put them in. I tried to add fill color. Nothing. I even tried to create a
new worksheet and entered info in a cell, tried fill color -- no dice. Is
there something I'm not doing correctly or is there a glitch in excel 2007?
