Changing Color Pallette ?

[Nozzle23]

Was wondering if anyone can help me with changing the standard colors from the color pallette. I was told it can be done but the source had no idea how
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks ,,, Bob

First, colors are stored in each workbook--changing workbookA won't affect
existing workbookB's colors.

Tools|options|color tab
Change the colors as much as you like.

Excel only supports 56 different colors--even though you can choose from lots
more (billions and billions????) by clicking the modify button.

===
But you can create a workbook that will be used as a template for any new
workbook.

Start up a new workbook.
Change the colors to what you want.
(also the page layout and anything else you want.)

File|SaveAs
Save as type: Template (*.xlt)
Call it Book1.xlt

And save it to your XLStart folder.

You can read lots more about how excel works with colors at David McRitchie's
