Microsoft Templates use white for fill color, why?

Why is 'White' used as the 'fill color', rather than 'No Fill' in the
body of the pre-installed sample Microsoft templates, e.g., invoice.xlt?

There must be a reason, but it's not obvious to me.

Thanks.

my only thought is to cover the grids,but can obviuosly turn the grid off,but
sometimes some grids are required

An alternate thought: The same palette may be used for both Fill Colour and
Font Colour. White is required in Font Colour in some cases.

There must be a better reason that Microsoft is demonstrating to use a
white fill.

Thanks.

Jaleel,

Right, but not in the case where the text is black and the page would be
printed on white paper.

Thanks.

Hi Dennis,

In that case too. Suppose we printed a letter and it is already signed by
the boss and at the last moment we noticed that we missed the reference
number or a single line. We can add it in the appropriate place and after
changing the font colour to white forthe rest of the letter we can take a
print out on the signed paper. I did it once.

Cheers,

I don't get it. What does that have to do with the body (the whole
document) of the invoice with the fill being white?

I don't know why this is done, Dennis, but if you want to change it all
you need to do is click the button at the intersection of the row and
column identifiers in order to highlight the complete sheet, then use
Format | Cells | Patterns to select No Fill, or select No Fill from the
Fill Colour icon if you have it visible on the formatting toolbar.

Hope this helps.

Pete,

Thanks for the reply. I do get that I can change the fill. In this case,
I'm just trying to learn and understand better or best techniques for
doing projects. Just curious in this case.

Thanks again.
