Is the worksheet protected?
If no, you may want to explain what you tried in a little more detail. (And create a new workbook and test it there, too.) Zoltan wrote: I am using a migrated* then activated version of Excel 2003.

How do I change color of cell or of character in a cell?
Hi Frank,
You should get an error message whether the sheet is protected or from other things, and you should report what happens instead of working when you ask for help. Since you have loaded the file from a backup CD, I expect that your files are read protected. Not all backups will do that, and Windows XP will not either. To turn off the Read protect attribute you can group select the files or go to the directory or any directory above and then right-click to get to properties and turn off the read only attribute. http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel...p.htm#readonly -- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...
