More details John, please. What happens when he/she tries? Does he/she have a fill bucket on his/her Formula Toolbar or is it missing? Can he/she not fill cells by clicking on that? Are there no colors in there? Can he/she fill them by going to the Format menu and choosing Cells and clicking on the Patterns tab? Does he/she see colors in there? Does he/she get an error message? Have you tried Detect and Repair?
