Changing Excel default colors

[Kelly]

When veiwing worksheets I only see the default black font. I can change the
font color, it will type in the color I choose, but when I hit enter it
defualts the font back to black text.

Any ideas on how to fix? I have already ran a detect and repair hoping that
was the problem. Word works fine, only an issue in Excel.

When you hit enter you move to the next cell, which is not at this stage
formatted to display in a different colour. If you want to change the font
colour for a range, either complete your typing first, and then change, or
else select the range you want to change, change the font colour, and then
start typing. Remember, multi-coloured spreadsheets are terrible to review.
