excel column letters and row numbers are italic. also when i use arial it is also italic and it will not let me change it. anyone have any idea why
 
Julie

Are you sure the column and row headings are Italic and not just some other
font that appears Italic?

Tools>Options>General "Standard Font". See what is selected for Font and
size.

Change to what you wish here. Excel will have to be closed and re-opened to
effect changes.

Note: workbooks saved with this set to Italic will remain as such until you
change each indiviually.

New Workbooks will get the new settings.

THANKS,
I went in and change the font from arial to Arial Unicode MS and it did change. but arial is still only avail. in italic, bold or italic bold. Maybe I have a font problem. Or maybe that is all that is available. I thought I used arial regular before xp
If you have any idea please let me know. Thanks again.
 
julie,

Also, you should check the normal style and see if has been modified.
That will affect the row and column heading fonts.

Format | Style | Normal (dropdown) | modify (button)

Thanks, I did check that and it was on normal, arial, 10. I tried modify and arial regular was not there. Maybe it never was. I am taking a class and that is what I am suppose to use. If you have any other thoughts please let me know

Thanks

Julie,

Sounds like you need to find/install the Arial font.
The following is from Windows help...
'--------------------------------------------------
To add a new font to your computer
Open Fonts in Control Panel.
On the File menu, click Install New Font.
In Drives, click the drive you want.
In Folders, double-click the folder that contains the fonts you want to add.

In List of fonts, click the font you want to add, and then click OK.
To add all of the listed fonts, click Select All, and then click OK.

Notes

To open Fonts, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Fonts.
To select more than one font to add, hold down the CTRL key,
and then click each of the fonts you want to add.
You can also drag OpenType, TrueType, Type 1,
and raster fonts from another location to add them to the Fonts folder.
This works only if the font is not already in the Fonts folder.
To add fonts from a network drive without using disk space on your computer,
make sure that the Copy fonts to Fonts folder check box, in the Add Fonts
dialog box, is clear.
This is available only when you install OpenType, TrueType,
or raster fonts using the Install New Font option on the File menu.

Hope this is of some help.
