Hello Biff

That was definetely it. The girl that created the spreadsheet is very good
with excel. I quess she thinks everyone else is too. I believe that I might
have to experiment with conditional formatting in my personal spreadsheets.
Looks like it may be easier than macros in some cases.

Thanks very much again.

Hi!

Another thing to check for is conditional formatting.

Select one of the cells that has a white font.

Then goto FormatConditional Formatting.

Do you see any settings?

Hello

I have a problem with the fonts being white in various cells. I'm
wondering
if a prankster at work is messing with me.

At first you think that the cell is just blank, but after I did a select
all
and all the cells were highlighted, I could see that the font is actually
white in random cells. I use excel a whole lot and I don't see anything
that
would cause this. Using format cell, nothing appears to be different from
the other cells that are okay. If I do a copy and paste from a good cell,
the font remains white. I read up in help about a person could type in
three
semicolons to do this, under format cells, but that also doesn't appear to
be
the case. I actually deleted out about thirty rows of cells that I could
see
white fonts in (I had previously copied mathematical formulas.) and then I
had a row that the cell was okay

I have spent about an hour trying to see what the problem is on this one
spreadsheet.

I hope someone can help.
