Hi!

I use excel 97

I took from a CD that was comming with a book an invoice.xls.

I finally just kept the desing of the invoice, getting rid of all
the macros and other progamming that was making it work. I made my ow
boxes and macros.

My problem is that there is this dark green background color that
don't like. In fact, the hole sheet is that color up to the last colu
and row. Also, if I add a new sheet to this .xls, it is all green an
without the lines horizontals and verticals.

I never found where to change that!

Can you help?

There are various ways of applying a default shaded
background, but from what you describe most likely it's in
the "Normal" style.

From the main menu, have a look at Format / Styles /
"Normal" / Modify / Patterns tab. Apply No Fill.

Hi,

Thanks, but it is not that. Your way is the way I am doing it now, bu
if I add a new sheet, it will be green. I would like to find out wher
this green color is put by default. There must be a setting for tha
somewhere.
