Excel Question

[xlu21]

This is very wierd. Ok, I have an excel spreadsheet opened, there is data in the spread sheet. When I want to highlight a cell or change the text color it doesnt do anything, it stays the same. Here is the wierd part, when I save the spread sheet, put it on the share, open it from another computer the spreadsheet open with the higlighted cell and different color text. So it appears to be doing everything without displaying it. Also if I log in with a different profile on the same computer everything is perfect. I re-installed office, repaired the installation, downloaded updates,check for spyware. Im thinking is something with that users profile? Or is there a feature in excel that im missing. What else can I do? Re-installing windows would be the last resort.....Any thought on this guys?

Hi,

Have you tried opening Excel in safe mode?

If so, do the symptoms persist?

Could be custom colour palette issue. Have you changed any of the default colours that are available to you in excel?

Rgds, Geoff

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.

Please read FAQ222-2244 before you ask a question

What version of Office?

In the review section,
Is the file locked? "Protect workbook" checked?

Try just copying and pasting the data in a new excel file and testing.
