Excel Text box

[Mike R.]

How do you set the default fill color of an excel text
box? Also, how do you change the fill color of a text box?

 

[Judy Freed]

To change the color of a text box in Excel, double click on the text box and
select the Colors and Lines tab.

The only way I know to change the default color is to right click on the
text box (after you have made it the color you want) and select Set
Autoshape Defaults. Then, instead of using a text box, use an Autoshape.
You can add text using the Add Text command.

this is for Excel XP
