I think you're gonna have to do some detective work.

I think I'd try to find out if its that individual worksheet, or if it's the
workbook, or if it's excel, or if it's even the printer driver.

If you create a new worksheet in that workbook, then change the font in a cell
there, does excel crash?

If you create a new workbook, then change the font in one of its worksheets,
does excel crash?

If you start excel in safe mode:
close excel
windows start button|Run
excel /safe

then try it on the "bad" worksheet, a new worksheet in that "bad" workbook, and
a new workbook, does excel crash?

If you change printer drivers (the physical printer doesn't have to exist), does
excel crash?

===
Depending on what your answers are, the responses will be different.

If it turns out it's just one bad worksheet, maybe it's time to rebuild that
worksheet.

If it turns out to be just the one bad workbook, rebuild that workbook.

If it turns out to be the printer driver, get a fresh driver from your printer
manufacturer's web site.

If it turns out to be excel, maybe Help|detect and repair.

If you post back the results of your detective work, maybe someone can be more
specific.

Whenever I change font color in excel 2003 it crashes. It did not do that
yesterday. Does anyone have any ideas why or what I should do?
