    Excel - background cell color

    Dear buddies,

    Forgive me if I m posting in the wrong thread.

    I m not sure what my teacher has done on my excel after the excel class…

    Now, the background cells are turning into grey color and the bookmark tab is also in grey.

    How can I reset to default one ?

    Thanks in advance.
    Kary

    Dear foxsealady,


    Here is the file.
    but , It doesn't have any problem when you open it.
    so i guess it is about the setting issue.

    thx !

    file opens with out issue.
    so i guess it is about the setting issue.
    Suggest you double check your default settings.

    Hi karyx,

    alansidman is right.

    In your Excel 2007, please go to:

    1.) Office Button --> Excel Options --> Popular --> Top options for working with excel --> Color Scheme.
    2.) Just click on the drop down button and click desired color (e.g. Blue, Silver, Black). Please do not forget to click "Ok".

    See screenshot below for reference:

    Hope this helps. Have a great day!

    Warmest regards,
    Arnel
