8.9 Changing Cell Colors

   

NExS allows you to specify background and foreground colors for both protected and unprotected cells. The default for the whole sheet is changed in the Cell Defaults dialog box from the Options menu. However, you can set color for an individual cell or range of cells by using the Cell Color option from the Format menu.

To change the default Color specification:

  1. Select Cell Defaults from the Options menu. NExS displays the Cell Defaults dialog box as shown in Figure 8.1.

  2. Click the Foreground option button and select a color for the text or numbers displayed in all protected cells.

  3. Click the Background option button and select a color for the background in all protected cells.

  4. Click the UnProtect FG option button and select a color for the text or numbers displayed in all unprotected cells.

  5. Click the UnProtect BG option button and select a color for the background in all unprotected cells.

  6. Apply your selection by clicking OK or Apply.


If Check Protection is set to OFF in Sheet Default, UnProtect FG and UnProtect BG have essentially no visible impact.

To change the Color setting for individual cells:

  1. Select a cell or range of cells to be affected.

  2. Select Cell Color from the Format menu. NExS displays the Cell Colors dialog box as shown in Figure 8.4.

  3. Click the Foreground option button and select a color for the text or numbers displayed in the selected cell(s). (This can be used for either Protected or UnProtected cells.)

  4. Click the Background option button and select a color for the background in the selected cells. (This can be used for either Protected or UnProtected cells.)

  5. Apply your selection by clicking OK or Apply.
