"more fill colors" used to show up for me in excel when i filled in colors on
a worksheet. i would then be able to customize the fill color. however, i
bought a new compture with windows xp loaded, and now that option does not
appear in my excel (but does appear in word). how do it get it in excel?

I have the same problem, but using Excel 2002... Where has "More Fill
Colors" gone??

I think you'll have to go through
Format|cells|Patterns tab

Or create yourself a little macro to show that tab:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPatterns).Show
End Sub

I'd just hit ctrl-1,p (or ctrl-1 if the patterns tab was already selected).
