Right click on your desktop, click on Properties, click on the Appearance
tab, and change your scheme back to standard. "Julie" wrote: 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!! |

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. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Julie" wrote in message ...

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!!
