Cannot format cells
I have an Excel spreadsheet that was created by someone else, but is saved on
my computer. Certain cells have always been shaded. My computer was just upgraded, although my Excel version is the same. The shading is now gone from this file (same file, transferred to the new computer), and I cannot format any cells. The sheet is not protected, and there are no conditional formats. If I format a cell (Say, for red font), new typing appears with the new format until I hit return and then reverts back to original formatting. Any ideas? tia, kelli |

Cannot format cells
Might be this problem........................
The Windows High Contrast setting got changed along with the upgrade. Read this KB article. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=833258 The fill color, the fill pattern, or the line color of a WordArt or AutoShape object in an Office document does not change Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 14 Sep 2006 14:14:01 -0700, KelliInCali wrote: I have an Excel spreadsheet that was created by someone else, but is saved on my computer.

No, that's not it. Did not have high contrast setting on, but thanks! By
the way, I sent the file to a co-worker who also had their computer upgraded, and the file opens fine on their system. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Might be this problem........................
