Unable to add color to work sheet.
I have tried every sequence that I know. The painter will not paint columns,
rows, cells. Any suggestions? -- davidb |

Don't use Painter. Highlight the cells you want to colour and then use Format / cells / patterns HTH Michael M "Davidb" wrote: I have tried every sequence that I know. The painter will not paint columns, rows, cells. Any suggestions? -- davidb |

because Format Painter, is more akin to a paintbrush that you dip into
other cells and then paint new ones. ie copy/paste On Sat, 22 Jul 2006 08:56:01 +0100, Michael M wrote: David Don't use Painter.

I am still having the problem. I thought that I had a formatting issue, yet
on a new sheet, the problem still occurs. I even cleared the sheet first for hidden formatting, it did not work. It is so strange why it will not allow me. -- davidb "Davidb" wrote: I have tried every sequence that I know. The painter will not paint columns, rows, cells. Any suggestions? -- davidb |

Is this after Michael's advice ?
If it is, reply would have been better placed there. As its a reply to your own - maybe you haven't read his reply. David Don't use Painter.

Sorry, this was a general reply to all responces. I just noticed my "no
fill" in the "automatic" is blank. I tried to add color, but it would not allow me. -- davidb "Davidb" wrote: I have tried every sequence that I know. The painter will not paint columns, rows, cells. Any suggestions? -- davidb |

This may be a dumb question, but are you actually in Excel and not Word?? Is this an Excel sheet in a word document ?? The "No Fill " and "Automatic" you mentioned are usually found in Word formatting not Excel. Regards Michael M "Davidb" wrote: Sorry, this was a general reply to all responces.
