Maybe some Excel guru knows a trick to do it, but it doesn't look like that
was a feature in Excel 2000. The first the right-click, Tab Color shows up
in is in XP. I was about to tell you this cos' I've used it in 2003, but
then figured that is so easy that you probably would have found it. So I
checked 2000 and don't see the obvious. Checking Help didn't provide any
leads either. 

So unless someone comes up with a trick, my guess is it can't be done in
that version.

Subject: [mso] Highlight worksheet tabs in Excel

I have a workbook with with about 20 or more worksheets.

The first worksheet is the master sheet for the first section, which
collects information from the
next 9 worksheets, and the 10th worksheet also a master sheet for the second
section collects info
from the last 9 or so worksheets.

I would ideally like to highlight or colour the first and tenth worksheet
tabs to avoid confusion
when entering data.

I am using Office 2000 on XP Pro.

Anybody any ideas

Thanks in advance

Norman West
