EXCEL

Can anyone tell me how to change the color of the active
cell in a workbook?

I'm Not quite sure what you are asking. Do you want the color of a cell
to change automatically depending on whether or not a certain condition
is met (conditional format) or do you just simple want to select a cell
and change the background color to something other than white?

Look at the buttons across the top of the Excel Window on the toolbar.
There should be a button that has a small paint can icon on it with a
yellow stripe underneath it. Click there and choose the color you want
to change to. The button next to it with the red stripe is used to
change font color.
