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 Thomas N.
