I D/L a calendar templete for Excel then customized 4 categories that are
referred to by different colors. 2 categories fall on the same date. Example
red and green. I would like to combine these 2 colors on that cell block. I
have tried the pattern and border option with no success. Is this possible,
am I doing something wrong, can you offer any suggestions??
