Default Sheet Background Color

I've have a file in which the worksheet is completely colored in gray and no
gridlines showing. There is no background color applied that I can find.
The gray is exactly same color as the row and column identifier background
color. How can I remove this color or change the color?
Thank you

Click VIEW in the menu and select NORMAL. It sounds like you're in PAGE
BREAK PREVIEW view.

Thanks Kevin. That was it. I spent an hour fooling around trying to figure
it out.
