Mamede --

If you navigate to formatting the cells (easiest way -- select and
right-click on the cells, Format Cells, Fill), you can select a pattern
style. You only select one color, which will replace the white in a
black-and-white pattern, but it's better than nothing.

The only way I know of to select two different colors is to navigate to the
same place and select Fill Effects, and you can have a two-color fade from
one to the other.

Does anyone know how to format 2 colors in the same cell? Does Excell 2007
have this feature (I didn't find in 2003)? Note, it is not conditional
formatting, but stripes. And it is not pattern either! I want "large" stripes
or just two band color, with continued text crossing both colors...
