i have a form that needs input in some cells and then needs to be printed. I
would like to color those cells so the user knows which cells they can change
but i dont want the colors to show up when i print the form

You could use conditional formatting to set the colour if the cell is
blank (eg bright yellow), but once the users have typed something in,
the cell reverts to a non-coloured background.

Hope this helps.

Another option is to use CF with a text string which wil never be used

Formatconditional FormattingCondition1

'Cell Value Is' 'not equal to' in the third box type "~~~~" and select a
fill color
