Font Questions
Hello,
Two questions, please: a. is it possible to have the number or text in a cell show up as "reversed" ? e.g., a clear (or background) color surrounded by black ? b. how does one change, and make permanent, a default font that I would like to use all the time ? Thanks, Bob

Font Questions
That is not really a 'font'
You could fill a range (or single cell) with a black fill and then change the font colour to white It looks ugly! best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "Robert11" wrote in message ...

Font Questions
Hello:
Thanks you very much. Is there something similar in Word 2007 to select a default font ? I looked, honest, but can't seem to find where or how to do it. Would like to select the font and size for all new documents I create. Much thanks, Bob ----------------- "DJH6064" wrote in message news  What version?

Hi,
Thanks for help; appreciate it. I think your suggestion does not apply to Word 2007 ? There is no Tools and Options menus in the 2007 version. Any idea where they put it now for the 2007 Word ?
