text color
 
hello everyone, i was wondering if there is a way to change the color of
text in the active cell only! i know that the background color can be
changed in the active cell, but how about text?

Ellie

Hello Bassfisher

On your task bar, you should have an A with a colour beneath it. If you
select the cell you want to have the text colour changed in, click on the
drop down arrow to the right of the A with colour bar beneath it and select
the colour preferred.

Hope this helps.

i am sorry, i didn't phrase my question properly! i was referring to as you
scroll through a sheet, the text color changes as you move about from cell to
cell, thus highlighting the cell thqt you are in

So you can find that activecell easier???

If yes, you may want to try Chip Pearson's Rowliner:

we need biil G to help

you can modify word arts, any letter colors, but the highligh function
