Excel 2008 Data Validation - Input Messages

[XsilOnMac]

Version: 2008

Hello,

I work mostly on PC (sorry..90% of my clients are PC users!), but now am faced with building a "cross platform" application that will also work on Mac, including on Office 2008.

The issue may or may not be related to Excel.. here it is: The "input message" that appears on data validated-cells do not display properly. That is, the yellow "tool tip" box shows up but the font is white/silver/something completely unreadable. This does not happen when I am looking at the exact same file on my PC (both Excel 2007 and 2003), where it shows up in the usual black font / yellow background.

I've already tried changing the font settings on the cell itself, to no avail on the MAC.

Is this a Mac system setting I'm not aware of? Any suggestions most welcome... Again, I'm a PC gal so go easy on me!

Thanks

Didn't I just answer this via private email? Did you get any new results?
