color coding the tabs on excel sheets and bolding them

[mspbgh58]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) excel Spreadsheet. I used to be able to right click and color a tab on excel sheet..is this ability available on MAC version??

Also, when in a tabbed sheet, it was bold or enlarge so you knew which tab you were in, is this available on MAC version or is there some other method to obtain similar goal to either of these?

thanks for your help and input.

No. Excel 2008 does not have this function. Maybe in the next version...

Yes. That function is present in Excel 2008. The sheet tab goes bold for
the sheet that contains the insertion point. What are you seeing?

I have no idea...

Check your Font and your Font Smoothing settings.

I suppose there is an outside chance that the font you are using does not
contain a bold face, or that your font smoothing is set in such a way that
you can't "see" the bold.

Other than that: no idea.
