Hi there,
I am having some problems with the macrom and VBA in excel 2003.
Here's the situation.

I got a spreadsheet which I need to enter info on it.
First, I would enter all the info there which is no big deal.
But heres the challenge. I need to change the background of the cell to
yellow and font to be black.
For her to capture the info easily with a glance. I know from the info you
have read so far, you might think its easy.
But the challenge comes when if you are me and you can only use keyboard
shortcuts.
Here's what I did to accomblish the task.

1. Select the cell I want to change
2. hit Ctrl - 1
3. Ctrl - tab to font
4. Tab to the font colour combobox
5. Down arrow to black
6. Ctrl - tab to pattern tab
7. Tab to the combobox to change it to yellow.
8. There's 2 box I notice, but I changed both to yellow nevertheless.
9. And tab to ok

But sometimes the cell change to yellow,  sometimes not.

I am using a screen reader from
www.gwmicro.com
So no mouse clicking will be good or even just write a VBA which will
accomblish such.
I know I can run a record macro but the fact is  the colour change of the
cell background is not constant, so the macro will not capture what it
should do.


So any help in this area will be greatly appreciated.

regards
