Also check to see if there's anything in FORMAT> CONDITIONAL FORMAT, anything in here may conflict with what she's expecting to see.

Sorry for the lack of details, I was on the phone and in a rush when I typed that. I'll split up your questions and answer them the best I can. He was describing this problem to me over the phone. What happens when he/she tries? - He said he clicks on the cell he wants filled, clicks the fill button, chooses the color he wants and clicks it. Nothing happens. Tried it in the document he was working on and a new blank file. Does he/she have a fill bucket on his/her Formula Toolbar or is it missing? - It's there. Can he/she not fill cells by clicking on that? - No. Are there no colors in there? - Colors are there. Can he/she fill them by going to the Format menu and choosing Cells and clicking on the Patterns tab? - Fills, no, Patterns I believe he said worked. I'll have to double check that. Does he/she see colors in there? - yes. Does he/she get an error message? - No. -----Original Message----- From: Linda F.
