Better Fill Colors?
Is there a pallette or something I can make or get better colors from
than the ones that pop up automatically under fill. The lightest gray is pretty gray. No off-white, etc. |

You can choose from 56 colors in excel.
But you can change those 56 colors via tools|options|colors|modify But the color pallete you use is associated with that workbook. So you could create a workbook that has the colors you want. Then save this workbook as a template for all new workbooks. If that's what you want to do: Start a new workbook. change the color (and modify it to your heart's content) Also, modify anything else you want as a standard--header/footers, page orientation, number of worksheets in that workbook??? Now save it as a template in your XLStart folder as book.xlt Then when you click on that New icon, the new workbook will inherit all those settings. ===== David McRitchie has some notes on how excel uses colors at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/colors.htm =========== You may want to look at format|cells|patterns and choosing a pattern, too.
