How Do I Change Excel's Background (Not Sheet) Color?

[nycvoiceanddata]

Hi All!

Can't seem to find the solution to this, because everyone thinks I'm referring to the background of the Spreadsheet itself...

Example: I have a Worksheet that is 10 cells x 10 cells. I have hidden all other rows/columns, which leaves me with a gray "background" outside of that 10x10 grid that cannot be typed into (obviously, because it's hidden )

How do I change that gray color to something else (ideally, black)?

Thank you in advance for any advice given....

I'd say that the reason you can't find a solution to this is that there isn't one. As far as I know you cannot alter the empty workspace grey to something else.

Cheers, Glenn.

Did you hear about the literalist show-jumper? He broke his nose jumping against the clock.

I don't know of any way, either.

Best I can suggest is to use Tools/Options to remove the scroll bars and sheet tabs and then re-size the window for an exact fit around the sheet so you don't see any of the gray surrounding area.

Hi,
Maybe you can resize the window to fit just the 10x10 and then protect the workbook for structure and Windows. Then the user can only open up the same size that you protected.
HTH,
