Changing font colour in some cells
Hi
I am quite new to Excel! I can change the appearance of text using bold, italic and underline but am having problems with colour. When I select an active cell and click on a colour nothing seems to happen. If I go back to the cell and double click it shows the text in the colour I want but when I move to another cell it reverts to black. Can anyone help please? |

Does this happen with all workbooks or just one? If the latter, maybe there
is some event code behind the sheet. On the tab name, right-click and select View Code from the menu, if you see some code delete it. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from email address if mailing direct) "Di W" <Di wrote in message ...

If the high contrast setting is turned on you won't see the font colour.
There's information in the following MSKB article: Changes to the fill color and the fill pattern are not displayed in Office programs http://support.microsoft.com/?id=320531 Di W wrote: Hi I am quite new to Excel!

The problem was to do with the high contrast setting, but thanks for your suggestion. Di W "Bob Phillips" wrote: Does this happen with all workbooks or just one?
