Normally, Excel displays information using black type. Additionally, you may want to simply use different colors for displaying information on the screen.



You can change the font color used by Excel in the following manner:



1. Choose the cells whose font color you wish to change.

2. Choose Cells from the Format menu. Excel displays the Format Cells dialog box.

3. Make sure the Font tab is selected. (Click here to see a related figure.)

4. Using the Color drop-down list, select the color you want used for the information in the cells you selected in step 1.

5. Click on OK.



There is another way to change font color, and you might find it a bit faster. You can change font color using the toolbars in this manner.



1. Choose the cells whose font color you wish to change.

2. Click on the down-arrow at the right side of the Font Color tool on the toolbar. This displays a color palette.

3. Click on the color you wish to use.



At this point the color of the information in the selected cell is changed. You may also have noticed that the color bar at the bottom of the Font Color tool changed, as well.

The button on the toolbar (the A with colored line underneath it) is used for setting the font color of the selected (highlighted) group of cells. So, when you move to a new cell that hasn't had its font color changed, it will be whatever it was.



Probably the best thing to do is select all the cells that you want to have a particular font color, then change them all at once.



Hope this helps
