When I received it, the sheet didn't display any shading. However, when I did a Print Preview, the cells did show shading. I could not find any option which would turn shading on. Can someone point me in the right direction to turn shading back on for display purposes? I am using Excel 2000. ,,,,,,, Lawrence Berlinski Ô¿Ô¬ ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu at the top.
