Strange page coloring in Page Break Preview view...

[Guy Kudlemyer]

Hello:

I have an Excel spread sheet consisting of 8 columns and 6,078 rows. None of
the spreadsheet has any colored cells--the entire sheet is simply black text
in white cells. In Page Break Preview view, from row #5324 to row #6078, all
rows and columns are colored dark blue with black text, including all cells
that have nothing in them. I'd like those rows to behave like the other
5,324 rows that precede them--in other words, black text in white cells. It
is MOST ANNOYING. Is there anyway to stop this from happening? (When I open
the spreadsheet in Excel 2004 for Windows, the blue isn't there!)

Thank you for any help you can offer!

I don't see that happening here. Are those cells selected by any chance? Is
there a print macro that may be selecting them?
